Urban heat island (UHI) effects have significant implications for the livability and sustainability of cities. One consequence of UHI is the increased migration of residents to suburban areas. Explain the concept of the urban heat island effect. How does it contribute to higher temperatures in urban areas compared to surrounding rural areas? Discuss the specific environmental and health impacts of UHI on urban dwellers. Beyond temperature, what other factors might influence the decision of urban residents to move to the suburbs? Consider economic, social, and lifestyle factors. How can sustainable urban planning and development strategies address the challenges posed by UHI and encourage residents to remain in cities?
