• Quantitative analysis of urban form: a multidisciplinary review (2008, background): “However, due to larger houses, longer driveways, and lower floor-to-area ratios, single-family parcels also have more impervious surface per housing unit (Stone and Rodgers 2001).”
• The urban heat island effect and city contiguity (2015, neutral): “However, more recent studies have concluded paradoxically that both more sprawling (Stone & Rodgers, 2001; Stone, 2012) and denser (Coutts, Beringer, & Tapper, 2007; Martilli, 2014; Schwarz & Manceur, 2014) city con fi gurations can result in more intense UHIs.”
