2. Which are the main UHI effects that you can identify in your area? In my living area urban and rural development shares the surrounding space (as we can see in the picture provided). The UHI effect can be felt on a sunny summer day where in the center of the town we can see the town road thermometers showing almost 30 degree and 2 or 3km far away from that points the temperature felling could decrease by 1-3 degrees. ![ingrese la descripciĆ³n de la imagen aquĆ][1] 3. Which are the measures you would propose? Set a higher number of parks and green area, improve new construction techonologies not allowing only Hot Bituminuos mixes and concrete for the pavementes , allow new colours, etc. 4. Is UHI effect concerning policy making in your area? Not yet as I live in a not highly populated area with very close green and rural areas.
