Anthropogenic heat is one of the key factors that causes intensive Urban Heat Island (UHI) due to its direct impact on ambient temperature in urban areas. Stagnated airflow due to closely packed tall buildings causes weak dilution and removal of anthropogenic heat. Consequently, research is critical...
