CHANGING MICROCLIMATE CONDITIONS AND HEAT FLOW REDISTRIBUTION IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT

This article examines the impact of high-density urban development on the formation of the urban heat island effect. The main factors contributing to temperature increase in cities are analyzed, including increased building density, the use of heat-absorbing construction materials, reduction of green spaces, and the growth of anthropogenic heat emissions. Special attention is given to changes in microclimatic conditions and the redistribution of heat flows in an urbanized environment. Based on the analysis, patterns of increasing temperature contrast between central and peripheral urban areas have been identified.
