How Does the 2D/3D Urban Morphology Affect the Urban Heat Island across Urban Functional Zones? A Case Study of Beijing, China (2024) · ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information · cited 24× · doi
The study faces the challenge of accurately mapping urban functional zones using remote sensing data. The research must account for the complexity of urban morphology and its impact on the urban heat island effect. The study needs to overcome the limitation of using a single case study area, Beijing, China, to draw broader conclusions about the urban heat island effect.
