"The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is largely to blame for cities becoming increasingly \r\nunsustainable. Sustainable development is frequently cited as the panacea to this unsustainable \r\nproblem. However, the relationship between sustainable development and the UHI effect has not \r\nbeen covered in depth in literature. The subject of how the UHI effect relates to sustainable \r\ndevelopment and what it entails for particular mitigation strategies and government policy is \r\nraised. The broad term of sustainable development is reduced to three specific land development \r\nprinciples related to the UHI effect. (i) higher-density development, (ii) energy and resource-\r\nefficient urban design, and (iii) protection of natural and biological functions and processes. From \r\nthese principles, case studies are identified where an effect on the UHI effect is measured. An \r\nimpact on the UHI is measured as a change in local air temperatures. The first principle, \r\ndensification, is seen to primarily increase the UHI effect in ranges from 1 °C and 2°C both during \r\nthe day and night. In contrast, the other two development principles are seen to decrease air \r\ntemperatures up to 1 °C during the day but only show minor effects during the night. Across the \r\ndifferent case studies examined, the magnitude of the effect is roughly the same. This implies \r\nthat sustainable development can negatively and positively impact the UHI effect. However, \r\ncombating nighttime UHIs through sustainable development is challenging. Policies looking to \r\ncombat the UHI effects must focus on compensating urban densification with the other \r\ndevelopment principles or look beyond sustainable development. The articles analysed did not \r\ncombine multiple land development principles. The combination of different land development \r\nprinciples and their effect on the UHI effect has to be further studied."^^ . "2023" . . . . . . . "Vaughan van"^^ . "Inge"^^ .
