Urban Climate Studies

Urban Climate Studies is a field within Urban Environmental Geography that examines how cities influence and are influenced by climate. It looks at factors like heat islands, where cities can be warmer than surrounding areas, and how urban design affects air quality and weather patterns. These studies help us understand the impacts of urbanization on local climates, guiding effective strategies for mitigating climate change, improving sustainability, and enhancing the quality of life for city dwellers. Ultimately, it connects urban planning with environmental science to create healthier urban spaces.
