Assessing spatiotemporal dynamics of land surface temperature and satellite-derived indices for new town development and suburbanization planning

Pervasive development across the country has resulted in unprecedented urbanization with a phenomenal change to the urban landscape.This rapid expansion of cities has generated characteristic local urban climates with an increased land surface temperature (LST) and the intensities of urban heat islands (UHI).The study on LST and UHI can be performe
