What's Update

The Directorate has identified two research topics for which proposals are invited. The first topic focuses on a ward-wise study of the urban heat island effect and green belt in Lucknow City. The proposed study aims to assess the existing status and spatial distribution of green cover, identify heat-vulnerable areas, and examine the relationship between urbanization, land-use characteristics, vegetation, and temperature. The study will also suggest ward-specific strategies for the development and strengthening of green belts and other nature-based measures for reducing urban heat and improving the urban environment.

The second topic involves the development of location-specific models for urban tree plantation and green belt development in cities of Uttar Pradesh. The proposed study aims to develop location-specific models suited to the diverse climatic, ecological, and urban conditions of cities in the state. It will identify suitable native and climate-resilient tree species and suggest strategies for their plantation and maintenance.
