Quantitative evaluation of the mitigation effect of low-impact development pavement materials on urban heat island and tropical night phenomena

Rapid urbanization has led to altered thermal circulations in major cities that are responsible for the increasing occurrence of urban heat islands (UHIs) and events such as tropical nights and heat waves. To effectively mitigate such events, low-impact development (LID) and green infrastructure str...
