Delhi's Rising Heat: Urbanization and Land Surface Temperature Concerns

The article explains that Delhi is getting hotter because of rapid urban growth and changes in land use.

As more buildings and roads replace trees, water bodies, and open land, the ground absorbs and traps more heat. This leads to higher land surface temperatures, especially in built-up areas.

The study shows that heat is not spread evenly—some parts of the city are much hotter than others due to dense construction and lack of greenery.

It suggests that increasing green spaces and better urban planning are needed to reduce heat and make the city more comfortable to live in.
