Fig. 4: Exposure reduction for the city of Paris.

From: Spatially-optimized urban greening for reduction of population exposure to land surface temperature extremes

Fig. 4

A We show the number of inhabitants at each pixel of the entire city and the most populated areas. B We present the values of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for each observed pixel and for three different scenarios. The Observed scenario corresponds to the observed values of the NDVI and the corresponding measured exposure. In Scenario 1, the value of the NDVI is increased homogeneously at all pixels by 0.3. In Scenario 2, the value of NDVI is increased only at the most populated areas of the city to achieve the same exposure reduction as in Scenario 1. C We show the value of the total exposure divided by the population for each pixel in the different scenarios. See data availability and code availability for publicly available dataset and codes for generating the figures.
