ROLE OF LANDSCAPE IN MITIGATION OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
Abstract
Due to improper design in the landscape planning the urban heat island effect are happening. This paper will make a proper understanding how trees play important role in balancing the comfortable temperature to survive. Too much concrete used in one essential area can be reduced to mitigate the urban heat island effect by using turf blocks instead of using full concrete surfaces. Multiple layered canopies should be designed in the green space. Denser foliage of trees should be used in hot and dry condition. How trees can direct the wind flow. Hence, it can be suggested to mitigate the urban heat island effect we need to do design the surroundings space according to the location , what kind of climate it is and what type of plants works better in the role of down the temperature to comfortable zone , livable to human beings without use of mechanical means.
