Have you ever felt the heat in a city on a sunny day? This is because cities have a lot of buildings and roads, which absorb heat from the sun and make the city warmer than the surrounding areas. This is called the urban heat island effect. In this research, we will explore why cities are hotter and what we can do about it.
