Urban Heat and Surface Materials is an area of active development in smart and resilient infrastructure engineering, with
evidence that has accumulated unevenly across its component questions. We review the current evidence base for urban heat and
surface materials, spanning methodological, implementation, governance, and cost dimensions, focusing on where practice has
converged and where it continues to vary, and set out the practical considerations relevant to an agency considering its adoption.
We conclude that selective, context-specific use is best supported by the evidence currently available, rather than uniform
adoption or avoidance.
