Urban Overheating: Heat Mitigation and the Impact on Health
Urban Overheating: Heat Mitigation and the Impact on Health[electronic resource] /edited by Nasrin Aghamohammadi, Mat Santamouris. - 1st ed. 2022. - XIII, 356 p. 74 illus., 65 illus. in color.online resource. - Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology,2662-6837. - Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology,.

Urban Overheating and Impact on Health: An Introduction -- A Global Synthesis of Heat-Related Mortality in Overheated Cities -- The Impact of Urban Overheating on Heat-Related Morbidity -- Heat and Mental Health in Cities -- Human Adaptation to Higher Ambient Temperature -- Models and Forecasts on the Future Heat-Related Mortality under Climate Change -- The Impact and Influence of Mitigation Technologies on Heat Related Mortality in Overheated Cities -- Heat-related Mortality in London -- The Impact of Greenery on Heat Related Mortality in Sydney, Australia -- Impact of Increased Urban Albedo on Heat-Related Health: The Case Study of the Greater Toronto Area.

The book reviews and reports the recent progress and knowledge on the specific impact of current and projected urban overheating as well as of the urban mitigation technologies on mortality and morbidity and urban vulnerability. It presents recent data and developments on the topic reported by some of the more distinguished researchers in this area. In parallel, it discusses new findings related to the characteristics and the magnitude of urban overheating and reports and analyzes the recent knowledge on the synergies between urban heat island and heatwaves. This book helps to advance our understanding on the interaction between Urban Heat Island (UHI) and overheating as well as their impact on energy demand and public health globally. Exploring the interaction between UHI and energy consumption requires the understanding on the dynamics of UHI intensity and air pollution index in different land use and how such interactions may vary in different cities in the world. Moreover, this book focuses on different cities in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Asia, Spain, UK, and USA.
