I compared the following cities: Dallas, Chicago Kansas, Phoenix The temperature difference between urban and rural areas is very noticeable, ranging from 19 to 28 (Urban vs Rural). I believe that this type of measurement is very important for enabling(licensing) construction of buildings and countries generally do not have, or if they have, was not considered. 2) Which are the main UHI effects that you can identify in your area? The design and layout of the buildings, and the design and distribution of green areas. 3) Which are the measures you would propose? Obey the law. In addition to survey information on the areas that are most committed over temperatures and planning buildings that looked about the weather. ============================= URBAN: Asunción - Paraguay ================== ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] ![enter image description here][3] ############################################################### ============================= RURAL: Paraguarí - Paraguay ================== ############################################################### ![enter image description here][4] ![enter image description here][5] ![enter image description here][6] ![enter image description here][7] ![enter image description here][8] 4) Is UHI effect concerning policy making in your area? The assumption municipality aims to make the green capital of Asuncion world, unfortunately the objective is political and not just ecological. In 2014, only a year ago, assumption was recognized as the green capital of Latin America, but today, in 2015, when it is hot wind chill is 48 degrees Celsius and when it rains some main roads are impassable by the flood. There are millions of dollars in contributions to enable more green areas, but there has been no improvement.
