Comparative study and effects of urban green scape on the land surface temperature of a large metropolis and green city.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have provided valuable insights into the impact of green space (GS) on land surface temperature (LST). However, there is a need for in-depth comparative research on changing landscape patterns in cities and their effects on the urban thermal environment. This study investigates the spatial arrangement of GS and the influence of impervious surfaces on LST in urban areas, examining their cooling and warming effects in the urban landscapes of Beijing and Islamabad. The study aims to assess the impact of the spatial arrangement of GS on LST using a moving window of 1 km² to analyze the overall effect of landscape patterns on the urban environment. Using Gaofen (GF-2) and Landsat-8 satellite data, we examined the biophysical surface properties of core urban areas. Th
