Abstract
Urban vegetation is a crucial ecosystem component that keeps the environment in check. The existence of a well-distributed vegetation cover helps to ensure the city's long-term sustainability and aesthetic appeal. Rapid urban expansion has direct and indirect effects on vegetation growth and its distribution. This paper studied the vegetation cover dynamics using remotely sensed Landsat series datasets in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. The study examined the vegetation change over 28 years and observed a reduction of about 15% due to rapid urbanization. This work studied the prominent Green Spaces (GS) in NCT- Delhi and highlighted their significance. The study also investigated the district-wise change in the vegetation cover. The vegetation mapping of the region can be utilized as a tool for integrated spatial planning to address urban challenges like air pollution, reducing the effects of urban heat islands, and public health improvement.
