| dc.description.abstract | Vegetation cover of Lahore is decreasing day by day. The main reason behind this is urbanization which is growing with every passing day. In 2000, population of Lahore was 5576000 and in 2020 it increased to 12642000. Increased population requires more space to live which leads to declining in green spaces of this metropolitan city. Rapid urbanization has several other problems as well but this research has been done to focus on vegetation and its impact on environment. Urban green spaces have a great impact on mitigate the rising temperature of land and as well as air. In this context, this study has analyzed and assess the changes in vegetation cover of Lahore, LST and the variation in climatic pattern over the past 20 years. This assessment is being done through various indices like NDVI, LST and the data collected from MET office which concluded that there has been a drastic change in urban green spaces which has an impact on climatic temperature as well. | |
