Review: Function of Green Landscape to Mitigate Urban Heat Island

Abstract

The Urban heat island (UHI) iswhere urban areas experience warmer air temperature than their surroundings rural area, we experienced this from so many years but now it has increased in large amount over some years due to increase in population, change of land use pattern, building orientation, facade, material, loss of vegetation etc are the causes of UHI. It also has aneffect on the human health and leads to increase the energy demand which contribute to the heating of our urban environment. This review paperemphasises the importance of reducingUHI measure through green landscape which are beneficial to human health and environment too. There are many otheralternate strategies for future study and various mitigation strategies.
