includes bibliography
1. Facing The Urban heat island phenomenon – A new challenge for urban designers 2. Understanding and reducing the anthropogenic heat
3. Valuing green spaces as a heat mitigation technique
4. Mitigating the urban heat with cool materials for the buildings' fabric
5. Cooling the cities with cool pavements 6. The effect of the evaporative cooling, techniques on reducing urban heat
7. Exploiting earth cooling to mitigate heat on cities' scale
8. The role of spatial planning
9. Tools for the evaluation of the mitigation techniques
10. Case studies
The urban climate is continuously deteriorating. Urban heat lowers the quality of urban life, increases the energy needs at the urban scale, and affects the urban socio-economy. However, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate this situation. This book presents a series of innovative technologies as well as examples of best practices
