Urbanization and land surface temperature dynamics in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia: a comparative analysis of pre- and post-capital status

Introduction: Rapid urbanization alters Land Use Land Cover (LULC) patterns, affecting Land Surface Temperature (LST) and intensifying the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. However, few studies have examined the long-term thermal impacts of urban expansion, particularly pre- and post-capital designati...
