Abstract

This chapter provides a framework between linkages between urban environment and level of physical health and wellbeing. Using land use/land cover changes, air pollution increase as indicators, the human health and wellbeing are analysed. The chapter conceptualizes the research problem, linking changes in urban environment and human health. All major concepts related to study have been properly defined. Further, it deals with brief description of study area, detailed literature review about land use/land cover, air pollution and health, land surface temperature, urban microclimate, research questions, objectives and brief description of methodology of each objective. It also outlines the scope and limitations of the study.
