Climate Change on the Urban Scale – Effects and Counter-Measures in Central Europe
نویسنده
چکیده

Urban agglomerations are particularly affected because, in contrast to the surrounding rural areas, they are characterised by a high population density, a considerable extent of tightly sealed and rough surfaces and air pollution.
