Abstract

Surface temperature and vegetation abundance are two environmental conditions that can be accurately measured from satellites. This chapter gives an overview of the following: (1) urbanization and the urban environment; (2) urban vegetation, surface temperature and public health issues; (3) techniques for urban vegetation mapping; (4) urban thermal mapping; and (5) comparison of urban vegetation and surface temperature and their impact on environmental conditions in New York City and Kuwait City.
