Summary
Our planet earth and its environment have been modified for thousands of years due to human induced activities. These environmental changes are intensified by high population pressure, migration, and socio-economic activities. The process of urbanization is concerned with the conversion of land use/land cover These conversion in arable land to paved surface has resulted in decline in natural land cover especially vegetation. Rapid urbanization process brought about many eco-environmental problems, such as the drastic change of land use and development of urban heat island [4]. Exploitation of the natural environment by human being through urban development and expansion has a major impact on the urban microclimate at local and global climate in wider scale. One major phenomenon that arises as a result of this exploitation is the increase in land surface temperature [5]
