• Heavy vehicular and industrial pollution in urban areas.
• Discharge of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in substantial amounts, which trap the outgoing infrared radiations.
• Tall buildings and other infrastructure which obstruct the flow of wind, consequently obstructing the transfer of heat.
• Lack of vegetation which can act as both heat and carbon sink.
• Majority of urban surfaces are composed of metal, glass, concrete or asphalt. These materials have high heat retaining capacity during the day and emit this heat out during the night.
• The inability of water to penetrate the above materials, makes the urban landscape behave as a desert landscape.Incorrect
