When cities are built they cover the land with cement, streets, and buildings. They cut down trees and cover rivers ( LA has a river under the cement) as well as divert water sources such as springs. All of this creates heat and added to this is the movement of the people who live there. When the sun bakes down on the cement, streets, and buildings heat builds up creating a hotter temperature in the environment. Add to this the pollution and smog is created. In the countryside the land is still grass and trees making it cooler.

What are the effects of concrete jungles on rising temperatures?
Concrete jungles, or Urban Heat Islands, as they are known, hold the heat better. Cities, especially cities with few parks and green belts, are usually warmer than the countryside. This, however, does not affect global warming. Globally temperatures are averaged, and the cooler countryside balances out the warmer cities. Scientists measuring the temperature are always careful to make sure urban heat islands do not influence the temperature trends, which are increasing at the same rate in cities and countryside.

The urban heat island effect is a warming effect. Unban means 'city'. Buildings and roads retain more heat and warm the air around them, so cities are warmer then the countryside.
