On the impact of modified urban albedo on ambient temperature and heat related mortality

Do u know that the magnitude of the temperature drop caused by the albedo increase in cities is close to 0.09C per 0.1 rise of the albedo ? Also that the levels of the urban heat related mortality increase significantly as a function of the population size of the cities and the local poverty levels while ncreased urban albedo reduces heat related mortality between 0.1 and 4 deaths per day, corresponding to an average decrease of deaths close to 19.8% per degree of temperature drop, or 1.8% per 0.1 increase of the albedo?
