Abstract

En 中文

• The perspective of urban-rural gradient (URG) rather than urban and rural areas. • Re-evaluating major cities’ urban heat exposure (UHE) under URG effect. • Developed an assessment framework to estimate the URG effect. • The UHE of different URG drivers is significantly different. • Heat mitigation strategy should deploy regulating facilities under different URGs.
