DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2018.04.033
Abstract: Abstract Urban regions with their distinct surface characteristics modify energy and water partitioning, leading to higher temperatures in comparison to the adjoining non-urban regions. This phenomenon, referred to as the Urban Heat Island (UHI), is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00343404.2020.1841147
Abstract: ABSTRACT Although the literature often suggests that the economic prowess of ‘polycentric urban regions’ partly results from the ability of their constituent cities to promote functional spillovers through ‘borrowed size’, the empirical evidence remains scarce.… read more here.
