With the global warming effect and the rapid growth of global urbanization, the concept of urban heat islands (UHIs) has become one of the most important environmental issues in the world. Early studies on UHIs mostly focused on highly developed, large c...

Many countries, including China, have implemented the spatial government policy widely known as urban growth boundary (UGB) for managing future urban growth. However, few studies have asked why we need UGB, especially pre-evaluating the utility of UGB fo...
