Karachi's Rapid Urbanization Intensifies Dangerous Urban Heat Islands
The study looked at how urbanization in Karachi has made the city hotter over time. By analyzing satellite images, researchers found that as more buildings were constructed, the city's temperature increased by 0.04°C. They also discovered that areas with more buildings were consistently hotter than areas with fewer buildings. This shows that changes in the city's landscape are directly linked to how hot it gets in different parts of Karachi.
