Urban Climate Change and Heat Islands: Characterization, Impacts, and Mitigation serves as a go to reference for a foundational understanding of urban-climate drivers and impacts. Through the book's comprehensive chapters, the authors help readers identify problems associated with urban climate change, along with potential solutions. Global case studies are included and presented in a way in which they become globally relevant to any urban or intra-urban environment. The authors call on their extensive experience to present and explore methodologies and approaches to quantifying urban-heat mitigation measures in a clear manner, focusing on heat islands, urban overheating and effects on air quality.

Paolini, Riccardo: - "Riccardo Paolini is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Built Environment at the University of New South Wales. In 2011, he received his PhD from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His main research interests concern building physics and its applications to the design of buildings and urban envelopes towards the design of resilient built environments. Further, he investigates the mutual influence between buildings - and their energy needs - and the urban microclimate. Riccardo has been bridging urban heat studies and heat and moisture transport in building materials and components and researched extensively the performance over time of building envelope materials for heat mitigation."
