Congestion and air pollution in the city due to too many cars is the initial situation to which different responses can be made. Either investments are made in new roads and parking facilities. The result is that the number of cars increases and congestion and air pollution rise. Or one invests in the expansion of cycle paths and makes cycling in the city more comfortable. This would lead to a decrease in the number of cars and improve the initial situation.

The urban heat island (UHI) effect describes the local increase of surface and air temperatures in cities compared to their surroundings. This effect is due to complex factors, mostly related to the transfer of solar energy through a city. Dense urban developments absorb and retain more heat than green spaces. Tall buildings restrict the heat transfer out of the city. This effect is related to SGD 11, which focuses on making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
