Increasing global urbanisation and anthropogenic warming contribute to the development of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). UHIs pose significant challenges to the well-being and health of city residents, amplifying heat stress and exacerbating energy demands.

This research aims to employ remote sensing data for multi-scale mapping of urban morphology and to investigate its interrelationship with UHI. By utilizing multi-source remote sensing imagery, this study aims to quantify key morphological parameters in selected urban zones across diverse climate regions. Geospatial analyses will be conducted to establish correlations with thermal anomalies. Resulting spatial data on urban morphology will be used in an SDD method that considers the interplay between the microclimate effect of a city and climate change at regional scale.

The research outcomes are aimed to explore the potential of integrating remote sensing technology into the development of adaptive and sustainable urban planning policies.
