Cities are facing a range of climate-related issues due to increased human activities and rapid urbanization. These issues include high energy consumption, air pollution, thermal discomfort and disease transmission, which can harm public health and quality of life. To develop effective planning strategies and gain a better understanding of the urban climatic environment, geospatial techniques have been employed. Satellite data has been widely used in urban climate studies due to its capability to quickly gather data over large areas. This study aims to provide a review of remote sensing techniques and its applications, including how different built environments affect urban warming and cooling effects. Additionally, this study presents further directions for remote sensing applications, which can be useful for future urban climate research.
Key words: Remote sensing; urban morphology; urban heat island; vegetation cooling
