The study aims to predict land surface temperature (LST) of Bengaluru, a rapidly urbanizing
city of India facing air pollution and temperature challenges. Different parameters, like air …

Rapid development and urbanization in most of the cities of the world have led to increased
vehicular traffic, industrial activities, and construction. Air pollution in most cities of …

Many climatic problems have arisen due to congested and inefficient planning, reduced
