Recently the phenomenon has been enforced by the tendency to climate change and in particular by extreme climate events. This book presents and analyzes the results of a project to develop and apply mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures for counteracting the global urban heat islands phenomenon, supported by the EU?s Central Europe Regional Development Fund. Pilot studies were carried out in eight metropolitan areas: Bologna/Modena, Budapest, Ljubljana, Lodz, Prague, Stuttgart, Venice/Padua, and Vienna. The project involved feasibility studies and strategies for appropriately altering planning rules and governance to tackle the problem of UHIs, and focused on the specific morphology of EU urban areas, which are often characterized by the presence of historical old towns. The first part of the book is devoted to evidence, measures and tools, including tools to facilitate UHI analysis and decision support systems. The second part explores measures for counteracting urban heat islands, including specific analysis of the case studies and offering solutions for European cities. The volume includes supplemental materials such as references, glossaries and keyword lists. The UHI management plans developed here can be integrated into national and regional sustainable development approaches for urban and land planning. They can also contribute to the application of innovative urban planning techniques that foster a new ?climate proof? planning approach in European cities. UHI project has been implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme co-financed by the ERDF. 606 $aClimate change 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aPhysics 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aApplied and Technical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31000 610 $aClimate Change 610 $aEnergy Efficiency 610 $aRemote Sensing 610 $aPhotogrammetry 610 $aPhysics 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 0$aEnergy efficiency. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 615 24$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aApplied and Technical Physics. 676 $a577.27 700 $aMusco$b Francesco$4auth$0508403 702 $aMusco$b Francesco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163542303321 996 $aCounteracting Urban Heat Island Effects in a Global Climate Change Scenario$93362375 997 $aUNINA
