Abstract Urbanization and land use changes, especially in arid environments, significantly impact local climate energy demand. This study investigates the relationship between Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) Surface Temperature (LST), carbon footprint (CF) from building consumption Doha, Qatar. Specifically, addresses gap understanding how LULC LST interact to influence CF urban areas. The research utilizes electricity data residential, commercial, government buildings conjunction with remote sensing (Landsat 8) climatical (ERA5) estimate vegetation health. Multiregional Input-Output (MRIO) model was employed calculate direct indirect consumption. At same time, support vector machine (SVM) used classify into areas, green spaces, inland water bodies, barren lands. To further investigate spatial heterogeneity of relationships variables, Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) utilized. hypothesizes that changes will increase buildings, during peak summer months regions, while increased help reduce this impact. hotspots are expected areas higher less space. findings reveal significant correlations LST, reduced residential commercial sectors. Villas exhibited highest due cooling demands, noticeable specific underscores role spaces mitigating both CF, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) showing an inverse CF. Policy implications point urgent need for integrating greening initiatives, enhancing efficiency design, revising planning policies address challenges posed by rising demands regions. Recommendations include incentivizing adoption energy-efficient designs improving cover enhance resilience climates. offers critical insights policymakers, planners, environmental managers aiming balance growth sustainable resilience.

As the city of Xi'an expands rapidly, urban heat island (UHI) effect and greenhouse are becoming more pronounced in terms city's temperature impact. The dense population core, coupled with expanding suburbs, makes climate change particularly dramatic. This study examines how is further exacerbating Xi'an, a particular focus on impacts energy demand, public health, quality life its residents. Based long-term data, pollutant levels satellite remote sensing analysis, shows that sprawl accumulation gases clearly leading to an increase difference between centre surrounding areas. These findings not only reveal causes localized anomalies, but also show increased health risks demand for Through these observations, this paper highlights strong link planning climate, suggests necessary measures address challenges green space promote energy-efficient buildings, essential alleviate problems Xi'an's environment.
