Evaluating Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies in Rajshahi, Using ENVI-Met: A Remote Sensing Approach

The Journal of Contemporary Urban Affairs is excited to announce a newly published original scientific paper:

?? Title: "Evaluating Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies in Rajshahi, Using ENVI-Met: A Remote Sensing Approach" Authors: Nafis Sadat, Sheikh Hameem, and Md. Asaduzzaman Affiliations: Concordia University, Montreal, Canada & Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh

?? Highlights:

• This study uses ENVI-met software to analyze how urban vegetation strategies, like green roofs and street planting, can mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
• Findings reveal that these strategies can reduce local temperatures by up to 10 Kelvin, significantly enhancing outdoor thermal comfort in urban areas.
• Offers actionable insights for urban planners and policymakers on integrating green infrastructure to foster sustainable and resilient urban development.

?? Read the full article to explore the importance of green infrastructure in combating UHI effects and improving the livability of rapidly urbanizing cities!
