Abstract
- • A new approach to examine ecological structure together with heat exposure and social vulnerability assessment. • >50% of summer days were exposed to cautious conditions for health in Beijing and NYC. • Higher heat risk was closely correlated with higher population density and elderly in Beijing, but with people below poverty in NYC. • Coverage, spatial configuration and quality of UG all affect its cooling effect, but their relative importance differed by cities.
