Urban Climate, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book offers an integrated understanding of how cities experience and respond to rising climatic stress. Bringing together advanced geospatial analysis, environmental assessment, and public-health insights, it highlights how heat, pollution, land-use change, and hydrological disruptions shape urban well-being. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, presenting new evidence from diverse Indian cities to reveal emerging patterns in urban heat islands, air composition, groundwater vulnerability, and health risks. Designed for researchers, practitioners, and students in urban studies, climate science, health, and planning, it supports decision-making, risk assessment, and climate-resilient urban management.
