【 摘 要 】

Hong Kong's urbanization rate is close to 100%, which is one of the highest urbanization rates in the world. The rapid development of cities has produced a large number of urban problems. Urban heat island effect is one of the typical features of the urban climate and the phenomenon, which can extreme weather and air pollution, which threatens human health directly and seriously. This paper uses remote sensing technology to evaluate the urban heat island effect and new town development situation, including land surface temperature retrieval and BUAI (Built up Area Index) analysis. Eventually some practical suggestions are put forward for making a better living environment.
