Open Space Comparison to Heat Maps in the Bronx and Manhattan: A Comparison of Population Density and Median Income to Spatial Features
Dublin Core
Title
Open Space Comparison to Heat Maps in the Bronx and Manhattan: A Comparison of Population Density and Median Income to Spatial Features
Subject
heat island effect
Description
Although Manhattan has a higher population density and less open space compared to the Bronx, it has fewer heat islands. This insinuates that factors other than open space are responsible for these temperature differences; perhaps extra amenities are obtainable due to the higher median income.
