Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 12 on Danish grading system, Copenhagen School of Design and Technology, language: English, abstract: The aim of this report is to find out in which ways green infrastructure influences the urban heat island. Derived from this, there are other purposes for it. I want to find out what is the awareness level among people about this phenomenon and how involved they are in this matter.My Bachelor Project is a school with flat roof in Copenhagen. Because every new building in Copenhagen with a slope smaller than 30° must have a green roof, this report is also connected to my Bachelor Project. The first two chapters explain the urban heat island phenomenon and green infrastructure influence on it. Moreover, to reach a relevant conclusion I have decided to make two case study, one on Copenhagen, Denmark and one on New York City, U.S.A. Each case contains relevant information about the extent of urban heat island and how efficient green infrastructure is in mitigating it.Relevant information was from desk research and questionnaires among architects in Copenhagen, Denmark. The results of my report show that New York City is very affected by urban heat island, while Copenhagen has a potential for it but it is not yet considered a problem. I like to think that the most important point from my report is that any form of urban heat island should not be neglected and vegetation will always play a crucial role in a city healthy life.
