The phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a significant consequence of rapid urbanization and is closely linked to climate change and its impacts on urban ecosystems. It refers to the temperature difference between urban areas and their surrounding rural counterparts, where urban regions tend to be significantly warmer. The UHI effect exacerbates the impacts of climate change, increasing energy consumption, worsening air pollution, and intensifying health risks, especially in densely populated cities. Understanding the causes and mechanisms of this effect is vital in formulating effective strategies to mitigate the broader implications of climate change on urban ecosystems. The primary causes of the Urban Heat Island effect stem from human-induced alterations to the natural environment, particularly through land-use changes, infrastructure development, and energy consumption patterns. One of the major contributors is the replacement of natural vegetation with concrete, asphalt, and buildings. These materials have high thermal mass and low albedo, which means they absorb and retain heat more efficiently than natural landscapes. During the day, urban surfaces absorb solar radiation and store it as heat; at night, this stored heat is slowly released, keeping urban areas warmer than surrounding rural regions. Another significant factor is the emission of waste heat from vehicles, industrial processes, and buildings. Air conditioning units, transportation systems, and power plants discharge heat into the atmosphere, further raising urban temperatures. The lack of green cover reduces the evapotranspiration process, which naturally cools the air through moisture released by plants. In contrast, the impermeable surfaces in cities inhibit this cooling effect, creating a cumulative rise in temperature. Urban geometry, often referred to as the “canyon effect,”
