Abstract:The growth of cities caused by the increase in population and human activities directly resulted in an increase in air temperature in the urban area, which can lead to changes in microclimatic patterns and consequently impact on the quality of life of the population. To mitigate these effects, the need for climate studies in urban areas becomes essential, as it is a measure that can guide public managers to make effective decisions aimed at the pursuit of sustainable urban planning. The objective of the presen… Show more
