Article Synopsis
- * A study conducted in Hangzhou analyzed 20 newly built parks using satellite imagery to measure changes in land surface temperatures (LST) before and after construction, finding that these parks notably reduced temperatures both within and around their vicinity.
- * The research discovered that as parks mature, their cooling effects increase, and that factors like park size and the arrangement of surrounding buildings significantly influence their cooling capabilities, providing insights for optimizing park designs for better climate benefits.

Zhejiang University of Technology, Design and Architecture Institute, Hangzhou, China.
With the rapid urbanization of cities, water pollution has emerged as a major challenge to their sustainable development. To tackle this problem, we developed a river pollution risk management system that integrates multi-source data and includes risk identification, early warning, and control. We applied this system to a case study of urban rivers in Hangzhou, China.
