Land surface temperatures (LST) were estimated from Landsat images (1986�2016) and the land cover and urban form LST were extracted by using samples representing different urban forms/cover types. A transect of 20 km was taken across the city to derive the LST across the different land cover types. Urban heat island index and statistical analysis were carried out to understand the influence of urban form and cover on changes in surface temperature. The results are compared with temperature regimes of an industrial city (Yanbu) to depict differences in the two cities. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows variations, at 0.01 level of significance, in the LST values of the city centre, high-rise, low-density, vegetation, desert and industrial land-use types. The outcome of the study is valuable for decision-makers in achieving sustainable urban development. © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. publisher: Taylor and Francis Ltd. date: 2021 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Parvez, I.M. and Aina, Y.A. and Balogun, A.-L.
