Which are the main UHI effects that you can identify in your area? I chose the cities of Stuttgart and Sindelfingen with Sindelfingen being in the outskirt of Stuttgart. On any given day a comparison via wetter.com shows that Stuttgarts temperature is in average one degree Celsius above Sindelfingen, even though it receives less hours of sunshine (3.6 vs 4.3). As can be seen from the market square photos, Stuttgart is much more dense compared to Sindelfingen. This contributes to the UHI effects. 3. Which are the measures you would propose? I would propose the following: - More waterways - Green roofs - Reflective roof materials - More pedestrian only areas 4. Is UHI effect concerning policy making in your area? Yes, e.g. Stuttgart has a dedicated website: http://www.stadtklima-stuttgart.de/index.php?klima_waermeinsel
