Synergistic impacts of 2D/3D grey-green spatial morphology on land surface temperature across local climate zones in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

Key Points

• Land surface temperature is significantly affected by the synergy of 2D and 3D morphology.
• The findings indicate a temperature variation of up to 5 degrees Celsius across different climate zones.
• Spatial analysis across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area highlights the role of urban design.
• Understanding these effects may enable better urban planning strategies to mitigate heat in cities.
