Urban Heat Stress & Vulnerability Mapping

Identify heat-stress hotspots and vulnerable zones for climate-resilient planning.

Urban heat stress and vulnerability patterns derived from satellite observations
Spatial distribution of surface temperature and heat vulnerability across the metropolitan area

Objective

Identify heat-stress hotspots and vulnerable zones to support climate-resilient urban planning.

What we did

Using multi-temporal satellite imagery, we mapped Urban Heat Island (UHI) hotspots and classified Urban Thermal Field Variance Index (UTFVI) levels across the metropolitan region. The analysis revealed clear spatial patterns linking surface materials, vegetation loss, and urban density to extreme heat exposure.

Outcome

  • City-scale heat hotspot maps
  • Ward-level heat vulnerability classification
  • Evidence base for cooling strategies, green corridors, and zoning decisions
