The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon where urban areas experience significantly higher temperatures than their surrounding rural environments. This temperature discrepancy is primarily by the replacement of natural vegetation with heat-absorbing materials such as asphalt and concrete. These surfaces absorb solar radiation during the day and it as heat during the night, preventing the city from cooling down. Furthermore, the lack of shade and evapotranspiration from plants exacerbates the of heat in densely populated zones. Urban planners are currently exploring strategies, such as the installation of green roofs and the use of reflective pavements. Implementing these changes is for improving the thermal comfort of city dwellers and reducing the energy demand for air conditioning.
