The Urban Heat Island Effect: How Cities Amplify Climate Change
Received Date: May 01, 2024 / Published Date: May 27, 2024
Abstract
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has become a critical aspect of climate change research, as cities worldwide continue to grow and urbanization intensifies. This research article investigates the mechanisms through which cities amplify climate change, focusing on the UHI effect. By synthesizing current literature and employing quantitative analysis, this study aims to elucidate the drivers, impacts, and potential mitigation strategies related to the UHI effect. Through advanced methods, including satellite imagery analysis and statistical modeling, the study sheds light on the complex interplay between urban development and climate dynamics. The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of the UHI effect and its contribution to global climate change
