| Summary: | Effects of vegetation on The urban thermal environment And climate adaptation: A case study in Hanoi, Hanoi, like other cities in the world, has been facing a rise in temperature due to urbanization and global climate change. It is the capital of and the second largest city in Vietnam, with an area of 3,359 km and a population of 7.52 million people (as of 2018, according to GSO, 2020). The city has more than a thousand-year long history, but it has significantly changed after the reformation – Doi Moi in 1986. Particularly, during the period of 1990 – 2010, the urban population in Hanoi grew from about 0.9 million to over 3 million people (Labbe, 2010), and the urban land area extended from 50 km to 190 km
due to the conversion of a large area of natural lands and water cover into built-up areas (Doan et al., 2019) |
