Global warming is a critical challenge for humanity in the coming decades, while rapid urbanization exacerbates Urban Heat Islands (UHI). Rising temperatures and the UHI effect led to increased extreme weather events such as heatwaves, especially in core cities. In this context, climate-responsive urban planning and design strategies have gained traction globally. The need for developing Canopy Layer UHI mitigation strategies in Hyderabad also arises from the city’s rapid urbanization, which has led to significant temperature increases in specific areas, intensifying the effect. This phenomenon impacts public health, increases energy consumption, and challenges urban sustainability. By using the Local Climate Zones (LCZs) approach and mapping indices such as NDVI, NDWI, NDBI, and LST, the research identifies hotspots and assesses the impact of urban development on temperature variations. Tools like ENVI-met and Urban Weather Generator (UWG), Cliamtestudio will be used to process the data obtained through field measurements and modified weather files of the identified hotspots. Analyzing these relationships facilitates the creation of targeted zoning regulations and developing practical solutions for mitigating heat effects, thereby enhancing climate resilience and improving living conditions in Hyderabad.
