Extreme summer heat is increasing in the United States, and climate projections indicate that extreme heat events will be more frequent and intense in the coming decades. Due to the overall rising population and urbanization, land use and landscape patterns have been altered, resulting in urbanization-oriented environmental challenges. The absence of vegetation or more specifically, urban greenspaces (trees, grasses, and shrubs), causes an urban area to be a lot warmer than its surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. St. Louis is an urbanized and very developed area, making it prone to an urban heat island effect. Therefore, this research investigates the cooling effect of greenspaces in St. Louis. In addition, it investigates the relationship between the size/type of greenspaces and the city's Land Surface Temperature (LST). The ANOVA, correlation, and zonal statistics performed in this research revealed that greenspaces have a cooling effect in St. Louis. Further results revealed that the cooling effect of greenspaces depends on the type and size (area) of the greenspace. Trees had a higher cooling effect intensity (CEI) than grasses/shrubs, with large areas with trees having the highest CEI. However, large areas with grasses/shrubs had a higher CEI than small areas with trees. The findings revealed in this research are crucial to future urban planning in St. Louis City.
