Abstract :

This study about the phenomenon of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) presents significant environmental challenges, exacerbating urban temperatures and affecting energy use, human health, and sustainability. This paper explores the UHI concept, identifying key contributors like non-permeable materials and anthropogenic heat sources. The study provides an in-depth analysis of mitigation strategies, focusing on permeable materials, green infrastructure, and reflective surfaces. Case studies-Bosco Verticale, The Edge, and IIM Ahmedabad highlight the role of sustainable materials and urban planning in minimizing UHI impacts. The findings underscore the importance of integrated approaches in mitigating UHI effects and promoting urban resilience.
