Analysis shows urban green space reduces surface temperatures in Changsha, suggesting strategies to mitigate urban heat islands.
Key Points
Temperature gradients revealed a higher concentration of heat in urban centers compared to peripheries, indicating the need for better green space management.
The relationship between green space and surface temperature was evaluated using spatial analysis, highlighting significant correlations over time.
Cold hotspot analysis identified areas of intense built-up space that exaggerate heat, reinforcing urban planning strategies for sustainable development.
Findings underscore the importance of optimising urban green space to combat the urban heat island effect and promote ecological balance.
