| This inconsonance brings about much disarrangement, such as pollution, heat island, overburden of resource and waste, etc. |
|
| The heat island of Tokyo has been one of the leading attractors of crows migrating to the city. |
|
| One issue is air pollution, which needs no introduction. The second is the urban heat island. |
|
| This is caused primarily by the horizontal thermal gradients of the urban heat island. |
|
| Various studies on the intensity of heat island have been carried out for many cities. |
|
| Indeed, planted vegetation compensates for the heat island effect created by hard concrete or asphalt materials. |
|
| In cities, these trends may also be affected by what is known as the heat island effect. |
|
| The role of urban forests in reducing the effects of the urban heat island is well recognized. |
|
| The impact of the urban heat island on human health is currently receiving considerable attention in larger centres such as Toronto. |
|
| These results are suggesting that OPG's thermal plume might have a role only in the spring and fall when the heat island is slightly expanded. |
|
| It also absorbs less heat than asphalt, which reduces the facility's heat island effect, and it is longer lasting. |
|
| Green buildings can contribute to lessening the heat island effect, as can open spaces. |
|
| The urban heat island phenomenon is the result of various physical processes and interactions among the land, air and human spheres. |
|
| The so-called urban heat island effect is often discussed in terms of potentially negative consequences. |
|
| Planners and public health officials will be able to use this system to help address and respond to the urban heat island effect and extreme heat waves. |
|
| This leads to dangerous urban heat island temperatures and droughts. |
|
| Tokyo is an example of an urban heat island, and the phenomenon is especially serious in its special wards. |
|
| The lighter color and increased reflectivity of concrete pavements improve nighttime visibility, reduce the amount of power needed to illuminate roads at night, and help mitigate urban heat island effect and smog generation. |
|
| Room temperature measures and an eco-design with reflective heat island roof, exterior jalousies control the sun radiance, double hollow glass windows and sun-collectors spare resources and save energy costs. |
|
| Like most other large cities, Birmingham has a considerable urban heat island effect. |
|
|
|
| An urban heat island is formed when industrial and urban areas produce and retain heat. |
|
| Concrete is a contributor to the urban heat island effect, though less so than asphalt. |
|
| It is a difficult task, however, to determine just how much of the warming in our cities is due to the heat island effect and how much is due to climate change. |
|
| This temperature increase, known as the urban heat island effect, can be reduced by using concrete pavement because of its light colour and reflective properties. |
|
| This activity works with decision-makers in the City of Toronto to identify and characterize urban heat island impacts in order to help develop adaptation options that reduce and respond to extreme summer heat. |
|
| This was an environmentally friendly greening project that helped the city to overcome the heat island phenomenon, not to mention rendering it more attractive at the same time. |
|
| Often, densification programmes have taken place at the cost of green space, reducing space available for recreational purposes, and thereby increasing the heat island effect of cities. |
|
| Although large cities in general experience an urban heat island effect, with warmer temperatures than their surrounding rural areas, this phenomenon is minimal in Bristol. |
|
| Like other major cities, Chicago also experiences urban heat island, making the city and its suburbs milder than surrounding rural areas, especially at night and in winter. |
|
| Concretising creates the ' Heat Island Effect' whereby the ground heats up very quickly but does not cool down. |
