Rapid urbanization and climate change intensify the urban heat island effect. This study quantifies UHI impact in Luxembourg’s Pro-Sud region explores sustainable mitigation strategies. In situ mobile measurements, EURO-CORDEX regional projections (RCP4.5), FITNAH-3D model were used considering also future building developments. The results reveal a significant effect, with substantial temperature thermal stress level differences between rural areas. Regional indicate marked intensification under scenarios. simulations show increased levels, especially densely built areas, highlight green infrastructure’s importance mitigating effects. Recommendations for spatial unit-specific measures specifically vegetation, unsealing, optimized design planning are provided. Our research emphasizes urgent need tailored planning, adaptation, strategies to enhance resilience address stress.
