Abstract

Streets, neighborhoods, and city planning affect the urban climate. Local climate change affects humans, energy, the built environment, and cities. In recent decades, urban climate science has evolved enough to be relevant in design and planning. Urban climate change’s climatic, well-being, and carbon implications are summarized, along with effective mitigation techniques and their benefits. Map heat susceptibility and enhance heat resilience. This briefing note explains the difficulty of adjusting to the urban climate anomaly while planning new districts or infilling old ones. Connecting with others and the natural environment in metropolitan places is crucial to human well-being. Due to urbanites’ hurried lifestyles and shrinking space, the divide between humans and nature is expanding. This research examines the literature on urban areas to draw links between humans and the environment, as well as the distance between them and strategies to bridge it. Urban greening can reestablish this link and reduce carbon footprint and energy use. Some say nature programs for impressionable children ...
