**Q2** Warsaw is a city that presents many problems with UHI because of deforestation, high density of building, high use of private cars and new buildings constructions. The first image show the city center of Warsaw. Second photo shows district Żoliborz, although it is nearby the city center has very reach areas of green spaces and parks. Here the temperature during the summer is lower about 2-4ºC comparatively to the center. ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] **Q3** measures I would propose are: - temperature in the main roads - the quantity of green areas - density of living/ buildings - usage of public transport **Q4** In my community there are some improvements of public transportation in order to reduce CO2 emissions and create healthier mobility patterns. There are new hybrid and electric buses. A new park is being created nearby, here you can see a project: http://tvnwarszawa.tvn24.pl/informacje,news,magiczny-park-na-bialolece-zobacz-ostateczny-projekt,72421.html. This park is changing enormously micro-climate in the neighborhood.
