Done 2. Which are the main UHI effects that you can identify in your area? Population growth and urbanization is the main source of this. As city denizen grow, the strain on the environment increases in the form of lost space for plant, crowded transportation network, pollution, etc. Hard to compare to US cities since none have ~10-12 million population. ![This is a building I noticed in Chinatown.][1] ![This is close to a residential area where I live. Somewhat green with open sewer on the left right in front of resident and canal on the right where all is being dumped.][2] 3. Which are the measures you would propose? More urban planning. Mass rapid transport would helps greatly. So is zoning, water plant, reservoir and a whole lot more. 4. Is UHI effect concerning policy making in your area? I am sure the government aware about it and doing something about it. However the problem is massive. Some really, like urbanization, involve national level planning.
