Provides a summary of a technical study commissioned by the Mayor to investigate London's urban heat island. Defines the concept of an urban heat island and details the evidence for London's urban heat island. Concludes that London is particularly vulnerable to high temperatures and that London's growth over the next decade needs to ensure that new development is located, designed and constructed to minimise and if possible reduce its contribution to London's urban heat island.
