Abstract The urbanization and rapid infrastructure growth of Navi Mumbai has impacted the local surface temperatures and microclimates. Urban green spaces in the form of parks, gardens, and tree-lined streets reduce the impact of the Urban Heat Island Effect, controlling temperature, humidity and air quality. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of urban green spaces in the microclimate of Navi Mumbai. Studies are based on climatic data, satellite data and environmental reports from the municipality to determine the effect of green cover on temperature, humidity and air quality between different areas of Navi Mumbai. Sources of data for the studies include - of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), ISRO's Bhuvan NDVI maps, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) Environmental reports, and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data. Findings of the study indicate that areas with denser vegetation have lower surface temperatures, more stable humidity levels, and better overall air quality. Lastly, it is suggested that managing and increasing urban green spaces is necessary for the development of a sustainable urban microclimate for Navi Mumbai.
