  • Abstract
    Urbanization is an extreme form of LULC change. This produces distinct micro-climates with higher temperature. Vegetation can be effective as it delivers several mechanisms of cooling simultaneously. This research used urban remote sensing to shows that the cooling proportion of urban vegetation is followed by its surrounding´s temperature.
