Étude : L'impact des types de configuration urbaine sur les îlots de chaleur urbains, la pollution atmosphérique, les émissions de CO₂ et la mortalité en Europe : Une approche par la science des données

This comprehensive study examines how different urban configuration types across 919 European cities influence environmental factors such as urban heat islands (UHIs), air pollution, CO₂ emissions, and mortality rates. Utilizing data science techniques, including Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) and k-means clustering, the researchers identified four distinct urban typologies:

1. Compact High-Density Cities: Characterized by small size, high population density, and limited green spaces.

2. Open Low-Rise Medium-Density Cities: Small to medium-sized cities with moderate population density and green space availability.

3. Open Low-Rise Low-Density Cities: Small to medium-sized cities with low population density and limited green spaces.

4. Green Low-Density Cities: Large cities with low population density, abundant green spaces, and extensive cycleways.
