Urbanization has resulted in many critical issues like increase in pollution levels, sudden climatic changes and the rise of temperature in the urban areas, i.e., the formation of Urban Heat Islands. Urban green spaces, an important component of urban ecosystems, provide many environmental and social services that contribute to the quality of life in cities. One of the key tasks of planners is how to optimize the benefits of urban green spaces. The paper aims to study the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its mitigation strategies of the city of Hanoi, Vietnam and Columbo, Sri Lanka under the present land use conditions. The consequences of unplanned urban expansion are reviewed and supported by the identification of the contributing elements, including UHIs, increased carbon emissions, and air pollution. The research is used to develop planning recommendations that are meant to help reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect.
