 Victoria-Gastias has taken several urban greening actions such as introducing a ring of parks around the city, developing a sustainable mobility plan, and implementing urban green structure strategies. These efforts have resulted in a decrease in the urban heat island effect, as evidenced by the correlation between land surface temperature, LST, data collected by landsat satellites, and air temperature data collected at meteorological stations located within the city. Additionally, the urban heat island effect was found to be more pronounced in areas that transition from natural to urban land cover types, suggesting that urban greening efforts can help reduce the urban heat island effect.
