## 1️⃣ Core Findings
### ? What drives urban heat islands? | Factor | Evidence | |--------|----------| | **Impervious surfaces** (concrete, asphalt) | Reflect less solar radiation; absorb up to 200 °C during peak summer. | | **Limited vegetation** | Trees and shrubs provide up to 4–8 °C cooling via shading & evapotranspiration. | | **Urban geometry** | Narrow streets trap heat; high-rise "canyon" effect amplifies warming. |
### ? How much can green infrastructure offset heat? - **Tree canopy:** Reduces ambient temperature by ~3–5 °C within 30 m radius. - **Green roofs:** Can lower rooftop temperatures by 10–15 °C, reducing building cooling loads by up to 20%.
### ? Socio-economic impact: - **Health:** Heat waves increase mortality by up to 30% in vulnerable populations (elderly, children). - **Energy costs:** Urban heat islands can raise residential electricity consumption by ~8% during summer months.

## 3. Strategic Recommendations for Policy and Action
| Priority | Objective | Proposed Actions | Responsible Stakeholders | |----------|-----------|------------------|-------------------------| | **A** | Reduce urban temperature rise | • Expand tree canopy to ≥30 % in all neighborhoods. • Implement cool roofs and green roofs on all new developments. | City planners, Housing authorities, Community groups | | **B** | Enhance public health resilience | • Deploy mobile cooling centers during heat waves. • Strengthen early warning systems for extreme temperatures. | Public Health Department, Emergency Services | | **C** | Foster equitable environmental justice | • Target underserved districts for priority greening projects. • Provide subsidies to low-income homeowners for energy-efficient upgrades. | Housing & Urban Development, Social Services | | **D** | Monitor and adapt policy effectiveness | • Establish a citywide temperature and air quality sensor network. • Publish annual climate adaptation progress reports. | Environmental Protection Agency, City Planning Office |
By systematically addressing the climatic realities highlighted in the dataset—particularly the high prevalence of heat‑wave days during July–August—and embedding these actions within a framework that respects social equity and economic constraints, the city can effectively mitigate future risks while promoting sustainable urban resilience.
