Present study investigates the impact of urbanization on Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Kanth, a block in Moradabad District, Uttar Pradesh, India, over the last decade. Satellite data from Landsat, collected from from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), were used to study about LULC and LST dynamics for the years 2015 and 2024. The LULC classification was performed using supervised classification techniques, while LST was calculated using a mono-window algorithm. The analysis revealed a significant increase in built-up land within Kanth during the study period, accompanied by a noticeable decline in vegetation cover. The city's thermal landscape has changed significantly as a result of this transformation. The spatial distribution of LST showed higher temperatures concentrated in built-up areas, with decreasing values towards the periphery. The results highlight the growing trend of urban expansion and its thermal consequences in Moradabad. The increase in built-up surfaces has contributed to an elevated LST, approximately a rise of 4°C in the mean LST, with maximum temperatures rising significantly in urbanized zones. These findings underscore that there was a need for sustainable urban planning practices that incorporate green spaces to mitigate thermal stress and manage urban heat effectively.
