Crucial changes in urban climate can be witnessed due to rapid urbanisation of cities across
the world. It is important to find a balance between urban expansion and thermal
environment quality to guarantee sustainable urban development. Thus, it is a major
research priority to study the urban heat island (UHI) in various fields, ie, climate change
urban ecology, urban climatology, urban planning, mitigation and management, urban
geography, etc. The present study highlighted the interrelationship between land surface …
