Project Abstract



Abstract

This project examines the urban heat island effect in the city of [City Name] and explores some of its environmental and public health consequences. The urban heat island effect refers to elevated temperatures in urban areas compared to surrounding rural areas due to factors like heat-absorbing surfaces from infrastructure and lack of vegetation. Through temperature measurements and land surface analysis, this study characterizes the heat island intensity in different neighborhoods in [City Name]. It then investigates how the urban heat island may exacerbate air pollution levels, increase energy demands for cooling, impact ecosystems and biodiversity, and pose health risks, especially for vulnerable populations. The findings provide insight into local impacts of the urban heat island effect and ways communities can mitigate it through green infrastructure and cool surface materials.
