Urban Heat Island Mitigation Program

The Urban Heat Island Mitigation Program aims to reduce temperature increases caused by cities, which trap heat due to extensive concrete, asphalt, and limited greenery. Strategies include planting more trees, creating green roofs, using reflective building materials, and improving urban design to increase airflow. These measures help cool the environment, improve air quality, and enhance residents' comfort and health. The program's goal is to make cities more resilient to heat waves, reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable urban living.
