In this current study, six metropolitan areas were selected to differentiate the built-up landscapes by utilizing the concept of local climate zones. Results revealed a 30.67% higher heat health risk in compact built-up landscapes than in the open built-up type, with urban green spaces playing an effective but differentiated role in mitigating risk.
