Question
what is a key strategy for mitigating heat islands? expanding the use of air conditioning green spaces, trees, and green building features reducing the number of trees increasing energy use
To mitigate heat islands, strategies that cool the environment are needed. Expanding air conditioning increases energy use and heat output (from AC units), reducing trees removes cooling/shading elements, and increasing energy use worsens heat. Green spaces, trees, and green building features (like green roofs, cool pavements) provide shading, evapotranspiration, and better thermal regulation, which reduce urban heat.
