Addressing the Urban Heat Island Effect in Alexandria, VA
Pubblico DepositedThe project goal was to provide recommendations to help the City of Alexandria mitigate the effects of Urban Heat Islands (UHI). The team compiled individual, existing geospatial, demographic, and temperature maps of Alexandria into a database. We documented the impact of extreme heat events on City infrastructure and vulnerable groups using the acquired geospatial, demographic, and temperature maps. We determined the best UHI mitigation strategies and improvements for affected regions of Alexandria based on their physical, and socioeconomic attributes. Finally, we recommended improvements for current practices to mitigate the effects of urban heat islands. Resulting recommendations including outreach, tangible techniques, and future research.
