Abstract :The urban heat island effect, which is caused by rapid population growth, uncontrolled urbanisation activities and uncontrolled use of natural resources, is one of the issues that should be addressed as a priority not only because of meteorological changes, but also because it reduces the quality of life of urban people and threatens public health. In this context, the study aims to address the importance of urban open green spaces in creating cities compatible with climate change and to reveal what kind of methods should be used to reduce the urban heat island effect. In this context, the relevant academic literature has been examined in detail, practices developed to minimise the urban heat island effect at national and international level have been evaluated and descriptive analysis method has been used. As a result, suggestions are made on which adaptation and adaptation policies can be developed to increase urban resilience.
