Abstract

Urban heat island is a phenomenon affecting cities across the world. While in cold climates it could be regarded as an even beneficious process, in temperate climates and especially in the inter-tropical latitude range, the increase in urban temperature can generate risks for health, outdoor and indoor discomfort, and an increase in buildings energy needs. This chapter provide a state of art review of UHI studies conducted recently in Latin-American area, with special focus on tropical climate cities. First step is determining which big Latin-American cities are placed in tropical or subtropical climates. Then, Journals articles, Book Chapters and Proceedings are investigated to establish the state of art, putting in evidence which kind of methods are used in determining UHI intensities, which impacts are searched, and which mitigation strategies are proposed.
