As due to migration, now-a-days the population of cities is increasing due to which urbanization is taking place which in turn changing the Land forms of this region drastically and which effects Land Surface Temperature (LST) and also heat of this region which effects lives of different species. The current study of recent decades examines the impact of urbanization on Land Use Land Cover which is changing and this changes the Land Surface Temperature and heat Intensity of Kanpur Metropolis which is located on the bank of the river Ganga which occupies the area of Kanpur Nagar District with the Yamuna River serving as the region's southern boundary due to it’s urban sprawl. As the urbanization and climate change directly depends on Land Use Land Cover change and UHI intensity respectively so for which these factors are carried out by using Landsat 5, 7 & 8 data for the years 1991, 2001, 2011 & 2021 having projection WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_44N with 30m spatial and thermal resolution. The study shows that urbanization intense the built-up areas and lowers down the vegetation and agriculture area however it supports shrub land areas and mixed water bodies settlements. The study also includes factors of human comfort (Discomfort Index) and ecological evolution (Urban Thermal Field Variation Index) for better understanding of impact of urbanization and climate change on human and other species. The all kind of work is carried out through Geospatial technologies (using ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine). The work also gives some ideas about strategies for sustainable development in the Ganga-Yamuna doab region of India.
