We recently reported on our study published in The LANCET Planetary Health Journal on the impact of urban configuration types on urban heat islands, air pollution, CO2 emissions, and mortality – please see here: https://remote-sensing.org/new-publication-in-the-lancet-planetary-health-journal/.

 

In this study we analyzed – as part of an international team of researchers – how different urban configuration patterns affect the environment and human health. Here is the link to the open access publicationhttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00120-7/fulltext

 

Now Der Spiegel, Welt and other media have reported on this study – see e.g. here:
