An investigation into urban heat mitigation by adopting local climate zones and land surface temperatures in the Tokyo prefecture
Abstract This study aimed to investigate urban forms susceptible to heightened heat intensities in the Tokyo Prefecture in Japan. Adopting Landsat 8 data at a pixel resolution of 100 m, local climate zones (LCZ) were identified. LCZs contain urban forms which are primarily defined by building compac...
