Abstract This project is focused on researching the Urban Heat Island Effect and exploring how existing urban designs could be improved to reduce heat, with modifications. By studying how heat is trapped and released in cities, we identified problems and made improvements to systems that already exist. These changes helped us understand and manage issues that affect millions of people but are still not fully solved.
