根据气候中心的一项研究,65个美国主要城市68%的居民居住在城市热岛附近。 68% of residents in 65 major US cities live in urban heat island neighborhoods, according to a Climate Central study.

一项新的气候中心研究审查了65个美国主要城市的城市热岛(UHI),发现这些地区5 000万居民中有68%以上居住在热度高于平均水平的居民区。 A new Climate Central study examined urban heat islands (UHI) in 65 major US cities, finding that over 68% of the 50 million residents in these areas live in neighborhoods with above-average heat intensity. 影响UHI指数的因素包括反照率、绿色空间百分比和人口密度。 Factors affecting UHI index include albedo, green space percentage, and population density. 建筑环境增加了平均气温和极端热量,需要种植街道树木、安装凉爽屋顶和铺设人行道以减少当地热岛等战略。 The built environment increases average temperatures and extreme heat, warranting strategies like planting street trees, installing cool roofs, and paving sidewalks to reduce local heat islands.
