urban heat island

A nice time to talk about the environment.

Despite of the ambitious(huh?!!) development of M'sian cities especially Lembah Klang area,I strongly urged the Datok Bandar and all the filthy rich land developers to hold on to their greedy deeds to turn the 'Garden City of Lights' to some Bedrock filled 3 star hotels and 2nd class shopping malls here and there...or in a few years time,you people will get yourself some thing like Shinjuku,Shibuya and it's nearby places.
In Shinjuku for instances,hardly you can find trees.If you do and say "Oh!there's a tree", you need to walk for some distance till you can say "oh!there's another one".As a result Shinjuku is a nice example of city suffering from an urban heat island(UHI).Due to this UHI phenomenon,tempertures in Shinjuku is 2-6 degrees hotter than other Tokyo suburbs.
Since people in Tokyo district office consider this is a serious issue and should be treated with high priority,many efforts are being done to counter the UHI phenomenon.One of them is the redevelopment of Shinjuku area by rebuilding buildings with specified location so that wind tunnels will be easily formed to transfer heat away from the effected areas.Other than that,plans of planting grass on roofs and top of buildings for not only to battle UHI but also to reduce Carbon Dioxide.
Whatever hi-tech measures are being done in Tokyo,like in KL,it's still not too late for pervention.All i would like to say,let's plant trees for the sake of our future generation...chewaaah!!!
Enough with the environment stuff for now.Though how hot it can get in Shinjuku,it's still nice to go up the roof top and have couple of cold refreshments + fun with friends after work like i did yesterday.

My Ikemen* buddies.

Sure is HOT in Shinjuku.

Yoko-chan gets it from both sides
