- Very Low wind speed (almost static) - hot weather The city image (where I live) ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] The rural image (Al-Dahab Island in the Nile River) ![enter image description here][3] ![enter image description here][4] ![enter image description here][5] In terms of reasons that contribute to the UHI effect according to my imagery: - High street canyon aspect ratio (high rise buildings prevent a good fluid dynamism and air cooling state) - Big Urban Mass, with much less open spaces ---------- 3- The measures I would propose: - Decentralized city-governance model - More government spending on rural areas - Taxing high-rise buildings - More green Parks ---------- 4- Is UHI effect concerning policy making in your area? Not the tiniest bit; in fact, I think we’re running in an obviously wrong direction. As seen in our exploding satellite cities, through a suburban housing schema; an urban model, that has been refuted in terms of sustainability and feasibility, long ago.
