Urban Climate Research

Urban Climate Research studies how cities influence local weather, temperature, and air quality. It explores how buildings, roads, and human activities create unique climate patterns, often making cities hotter and less breathable than surrounding areas—a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect. This research helps identify ways to make cities more sustainable and resilient, such as improving green spaces or reducing pollution. By understanding these dynamics, policymakers and city planners can develop strategies to enhance urban living conditions and adapt to climate change more effectively.
