The book reviews and reports the recent progress and knowledge on the specific impact of current and projected urban overheating as well as of the urban mitigation technologies on mortality and morbidity and urban vulnerability. It presents recent data and developments on the topic reported by some of the more distinguished researchers in this area. In parallel, it discusses new findings related to the characteristics and the magnitude of urban overheating and reports and analyzes the recent knowledge on the synergies between urban heat island and heatwaves.

The book reviews and reports the recent progress and knowledge on the specific impact of current and projected urban overheating as well as of the urban mitigation technologies on mortality and morbidity and urban vulnerability. It presents recent data and developments on the topic reported by some of the more distinguished researchers in this area. In parallel, it discusses new findings related to the characteristics and the magnitude of urban overheating and reports and analyzes the recent knowledge on the synergies between urban heat island and heatwaves. This book helps to advance our understanding on the interaction between Urban Heat Island (UHI) and overheating as well as their impact on energy demand and public health globally. Exploring the interaction between UHI and energy consumption requires the understanding on the dynamics of UHI intensity and air pollution index in different land use and how such interactions may vary in different cities in the world. Moreover, this book focuses on different cities in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Asia, Spain, UK, and USA.
Nasrin Aghamohammadi is Associate Professor in Environmental Health Engineering in faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya. Her core expertise is on urban health, climate change adaptation, Urban Heat Island Phenomenon, and health impact. She is currently leading a grand challenge project in Malaysia on Urban Heat Island and climate change addressing Sustainable Development Goals for future cities. Urban Heat Island Phenomenon In Tropical Urban Area is one of the recent grand challenges led by her funded by University of Malaya which consists of four interdisciplinary wings from build environment, social behavior, computer science, and engineering. She has been Investigator on more than 14 research projects. She has supervised 37 Master and 12 Ph.D. students and has published several books/chapters, and 58 papers on public health, air pollution, environmental pollution, modelling, and review papers in peer-review publications with an H-index of 19. She is Member of Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) in UK, Member of Institution of the Charted Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) in UK, Member of Environmental Management & Research Association (ENSEARCH) in Malaysia, Member of the International Association of Engineers (IAENG) in Hong Kong, and Member of Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEHUM) in University Malaya and Centre for Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Practice in University of Malaya.
