It is evident that the consequence generated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) in medium-sized cities with a population of more than 600,000 inhabitants generates a decrease in comfort for the user of the road network due to the increase in temperature and the difficulty of dissipating it. In the city of Cuenca there is a large number of urban roads that are rigid pavement and currently construction and maintenance projects are being generated for them, so it is necessary to seek solutions in the execution of concrete to reduce the UHI effect. The research comprehensively has two approaches: qualitative and quantitative-experimental. In the qualitative approach, the method of systematic review supported by meta-analysis of data is used to contrast information from secondary sources of case studies worldwide in Urban Heat Island, and through an outline the most common methods will be exposed. appropriate to reduce the effects of the object of study. Subsequently, this defined methodology will be put to the consideration of an expert judgment so that through its evaluation we can justify the proposed methodology. The expected result is a method of analysis and experimentation to be applied in the context of the city of Cuenca, which allows determining the effects of radiation on the construction materials of rigid pavements, defining construction strategies and types of concrete to reduce the UHI effect. The city of Cuenca accumulates large amounts of heat during the day and has difficulty dissipating it during the night, so this research seeks to propose construction alternatives and possible mitigation solutions to avoid or counteract the impact produced by the heat island through the most appropriate method.
