The emergence of urban heat traps and human mobility in 20 US cities

X. Huang, Y. Jiang, et al.

This research by Xinke Huang, Yuqin Jiang, and Ali Mostafavi delves into urban heat dynamics across 20 US metropolitan areas, revealing the intriguing patterns of human mobility in high-heat zones. It uncovers the existence of 'urban heat traps' where people gravitate towards hotter areas, particularly in cities like Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago. The study sheds light on urban design and planning to enhance health and sustainability.
