The rise in land surface temperature (LST) and its associated damage to urban ecological systems result from urban development. Understanding the current and future LST phenomenon and its relationship to landscape composition and land use\/cover (LUC) changes is critical to developing policies to mitigate the disastrous impacts of urban heat islands (UHIs) on urban ecosystems. Using remote sensing and GIS data, this study assessed the multi-scale relationship of LUCC and LST of the cosmopolitan exponentially growing area of Beijing, China. We investigated the impacts of LUC on LST in urban agglomeration for a time series (2004\u20132019) of Landsat data using Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and a single channel algorithm (SCA), respectively. We built a CA\u2013Markov model to forecast future (2025 and 2050) LUCC and LST spatial patterns. Our results indicate that the cumulative changes in an urban area (UA) increased by about 908.15 km2 (5%), and 11% of vegetation area (VA) decreased from 2004 to 2019. The correlation coefficient of LUCC including vegetation, water bodies, and built-up areas with LST had values of r = \u22120.155 (p &gt; 0.419), \u22120.809 (p = 0.000), and 0.526 (p = 0.003), respectively. The results surrounding future forecasts revealed an estimated 2309.55 km2 (14%) decrease in vegetation (urban and forest), while an expansion of 1194.78 km2 (8%) was predicted for a built-up area from 2019 to 2050. This decrease in vegetation cover and expansion of settlements would likely cause a rise of about ~5.74 \u00b0C to ~9.66 \u00b0C in temperature. These findings strongly support the hypothesis that LST is directly related to the vegetation index. In conclusion, the estimated overall increase of 7.5 \u00b0C in LST was predicted from 2019\u20132050, which is alarming for the urban community\u2019s environmental health. The present results provide insight into sustainable environmental development through effective urban planning of Beijing and other urban hotspots.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13224697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,21]],"date-time":"2021-11-21T21:00:50Z","timestamp":1637528450000},"page":"4697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["The Spatiotemporal Implications of Urbanization for Urban Heat Islands in Beijing: A Predictive Approach Based on CA\u2013Markov Modeling (2004\u20132050)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1131-0106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Amir Siddique","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300272, China"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300272, China"}]},{"given":"Ninghan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300272, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9602-0900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadeem","family":"Ullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300272, China"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300272, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"570","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1111772","article-title":"Global consequences of land use","volume":"309","author":"Foley","year":"2005","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"33","article-title":"Perspectives of remote sensing and GIS applications in tropical forest management","volume":"5","author":"Beckline","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am.
