서울 녹지 면적, 서초가 동대문구 15배…한여름 지표 온도차 ‘5도’

A recent analysis of Seoul's green spaces reveals significant disparities across its districts. Seocho District boasts approximately 15 times more green area than Dongdaemun District. This difference in green coverage leads to a noticeable temperature variation, with ground surface temperatures in less green areas reaching up to 5 degrees Celsius higher during midsummer.

These findings highlight the impact of urban green infrastructure on mitigating the urban heat island effect and underscore the need for equitable distribution of green spaces for public well-being.
