// Three PhD students from the School of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have conducted urban climate studies in Hong Kong and the Yangtze Delta region in the Mainland to develop a globally applicable and open source detailed urban climatic map.  Each of their journal papers was recently recognised as being amongst “the most cited articles since 2017” published by Urban Climate, an international academic journal.  This shows urban climate studies conducted by Hong Kong researchers are of great concern and reference value to global researchers.  CUHK has been committed to promoting research related to sustainable development and the environment as one of the four strategic areas of research. //
