DOI: 10.1007/s10980-021-01302-x
Abstract: Relationships between spatial configuration of urban form and land surface temperature (LST) in the excess heat mitigation context are studied over larger tracts of land not allowing for micro-scale recommendations to urban design. To identify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jth.2017.11.022
Abstract: Background Many studies have evaluated various aspects of built-environments that affect people’s walking at different geographic scales. The findings in these studies imply that, if the scale is too small, some attributes of physical-environments are… read more here.
