Abstract:
As global urbanization accelerates, the urban heat island effect—triggered by expanding urban spaces and increased hardened surfaces—has become increasingly pronounced. This phenomenon not only leads to frequent extreme heat events in summer and reduced human comfort but also exacerbates energy consumption and ecological imbalance, emerging as a core bottleneck constraining sustainable urban development. As the ecological “regulator” of cities, green space systems offer the most ecologically beneficial pathway to mitigate the heat island effect through core functions such as evaporative cooling, shading and heat insulation, and improving the thermodynamic properties of the underlying surface. Therefore, systematically analyzing the intrinsic mechanisms by which green space systems alleviate the heat island effect and exploring scientifically feasible strategies for optimizing green space landscape patterns hold significant theoretical value and practical significance for enhancing urban ecological resilience and advancing the development of livable cities.
