Gap description:
1 - Technological progress will remain a key driver of Green Infrastructure (GI) research. Advances in temperature monitoring technologies, such as more precise surface temperature measurement instruments and mobile monitoring systems, will enable researchers to evaluate the actual impacts of GI on urban thermal environments with greater accuracy
2- Integrating new spatial data, including nighttime and UAV LST (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Land Surface Temperature), and meteorological data from IoT (Internet of Things), to achieve more precise urban thermal assessments.
