Role of Green Patches to Reduce Urban Heat Island Effect in Urban Area

Urban heat island effect is a heat accumulate phenomenon within urban area. Through Survey and interview method it was found that urban heat island (UHI) effect might cause extreme weather, which would seriously affect people’s health, increase energy consumption and cause other negative impacts. This paper is mainly focuses on the impact of green spaces in urban areas to reduce UHI effect and discussed varies strategies in detail along with various factors to mitigate urban heat island.The key finding of this research paper is to study and investigate the strategies to reduce the urban temperature. Based on various literature paper and survey method it was found the green patches in urban areas can be considered as a good remedy to control UHI effect. Therefore, Urban forest, urban parks, Green roof, street trees and short vegetation cover are a necessary feature in combating most of the urban heat island effect. Thus, it reduces air temperatures by 5 to 6 °C and surface temperatures by up to 11–25 °C.
