About this ebook
Summer Cooling Effects addresses the growing challenge of urban heat islands, exploring the role of urban greenery and reflective surfaces in creating more sustainable cities. The book highlights practical, evidence-based solutions for mitigating extreme heat, reducing energy consumption, and improving urban quality of life. Did you know strategic placement of urban greenery can cool cities through evapotranspiration and shading, while reflective surfaces reduce the absorption of solar radiation?
The book begins by establishing the context of rising global temperatures and the disproportionate impact on urban areas, reviewing the science behind the urban heat island effect. Moving through the implementation of urban forestry and green infrastructure, case studies illustrate successful strategies.
The book culminates with the integration of these strategies into broader urban planning frameworks, emphasizing the need for a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to urban climate resilience.
