Abstract
Cairo shows high temperature in comparison to its adjacent suburban and rural areas and this phenomenon is known as urban heat island “UHI”. A review of literature has shown that vegetation has a significant effect on UHI mitigation.
The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of vegetation on UHI mitigation in Cairo based on field measurements. Mobile temperature measurements had been carried out in adjacent greenery and non greenery spaces during summer time. The recommendations of this study will help urban planners to find the manual to know how to use vegetation to mitigate UHI.
