URBAN MORPHOLOGY INDICATORS FOR MICRO-SCALE URBAN HEAT ISLAND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT – LESSONS FROM THE BE READY PROJECT
Rapid urbanization has significantly altered urban morphology, intensifying the urban heat island (UHI) effect and increasing thermal stress in cities. Previous studies have demonstrated that urban morphology plays a crucial role in UHI formation, especially at the micro-scale. This study examines the feasibility of assessing UHI sensitivity at the...
