Green spaces, proposal for the improvement of the climate in tropical cities

Abstract

The collection of data and temperature records in different sectors of the urban spot were used to determine the islands of heat in Southern Tamaulipas. This compilation of thermal data was taken as the basis for the proposed green urban infrastructure development. The climatic modification of the urban space and its territory is characterized by its contact with abundant bodies of water and tropical vegetation generating temperature differences of 3°C. The maximum temperatures recorded in the western part of Tampico have a value of 31° C, in contrast to the eastern part in Madero with a record of 28° C; the proposal of nuclei, nodes and connections diminish the heat islands in Southern Tamaulipas. The present work is part of the project, “Sistema Integral para la Interrelación de los Espacios Naturales y Parques Públicos Metropolitanos. Zona Conurbada de la Desembocadura del río Pánuco", financiad by the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas. 2015-2016. Copyright
