Abstract

This paper deals with the urban heat stress phenomenon which cities have to face by improving their absorption and adaptation capacities at different space scales and time horizons. Hence, the objective is to characterize a potential filter mechanism serving to regulate the temperature and subsequently reduce the urban heat impact. Bab Ezzouar muncipality from Algiers is serves as a case study.
