Empirical Research on the Impact to City Climate Caused by Urbanization – A Case of Jinan City

Abstract:

Over the past 10 years, the rapid urbanization in China has brought profound impact on China economy and society, and had certain influence on urban micro-climate. Taking Jinan city as an example, based on the model about the relation between the urban development and urban climate change, the trend of Jinan temperature and precipitation are analyzed, the relative impact between the urban climate and the urban development is studied. The results show that there are noticeable Heat Island Effect and Rain Island Effect in Jinan, the impact on the urban climate change caused by the urban development could not precisely match the Kuznets Curve in Jinan.
