Synopsis: This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the spatial patterns, drivers, mechanisms and management strategies associated with urban heat islands (UHI). It presents new insights into how urban form shapes the thermal environment of cities, shedding light on previously unexplored aspects of UHI dynamics and urban cooling strategies. The key features of this book include: 1. Comprehensive coverage of the influence of urban form on UHI intensity, from spatial patterns to regulatory strategies. 2. Practical implications and recommendations for urban planning and policy formulation to mitigate UHI effects and enhance urban sustainability. Written for researchers, urban planners, policymakers and environmental practitioners, this book provides valuable insights into understanding and addressing the challenges posed by UHI in rapidly urbanising environments. It is suitable for advanced graduate level courses in urban studies, environmental science and geography.
