An outcome of Urbanization, cities are now ubiquitous with landscapes having modified energy balance, leading to inadvertent environmental consequences such as Urban Heat Islands (UHI). In this context, Public Green Spaces (P.G.S.) have long been considered as an important sink, wherein a cooler ambience exists than their surrounding built-up spaces; thereby forming Park Cool Islands (P.C.I.). It's noteworthy to hence postulate that the climatic deterioration can be intensified by the degradation of P.G.S. This research, based on scientific evidence, outlines the P.C.I. by highlighting the role of P.G.S. in battling Urban Warming. In the present study, stationary and mobile surveys were conducted to determine the temporal and spatial variation of ambient air temperature, and to ascertain the role of P.G.S. in cooling the neighboring surroundings. It was also found that, while surrounding landscapes always showed an increasing trend for the maximum, minimum and mean ambient air temperatures, these were found to be relatively lower than those depicted by stations farther from the P.G.S. Hence, this research has demonstrated that P.G.S. could maximize thermal comfort benefits across neighborhoods, through appropriate planning and design.

With the advent of Climate Change and Global Warming, highly populated urban spaces are becoming more prone to various Environmental disasters. While forest are good sinks of CO2, it is highly impossible to introduce them into urban-level planning. In this context, nurturing Urban Green Spaces within cities, can serve well to perform the regulatory functions just like forests do. However, it is also imperative that their inception, must also ensure effective carbon sequestration. The objective of current research includes determination of carbon sequestration value for various ‘tree’ species, which eventually would serve to identify species with potential to serve better in Strategic Climate Sustainable Township Guidelines. To accomplish this objective, firstly three observatories (Richard’s Park, BMSIT&M Green Campus, and Lalbagh Botanical Garden) having distinct floral diversity were selected. Further, physical data collection was undertaken at these observatories and employed for biomass computation viz. ‘Biostatistics-based Allometric’ equation. Statistical Validation of data was accomplished viz. Multiple Linear Regression Modelling and One-way ANOVA. The average value of carbon sequestered (in tonnes per species) was found to be 20.13, 0.727 and 0.292, at Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Richard’s Park, and BMSIT&M, respectively. Upon comprehensive evaluation, it was found that best three species offering high carbon sequestration potential are Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus globus and Samanea saman. These species would hence be keystone species that could play a potential role in naturally lowering CO2 levels in intra-urban spaces. These species would serve well in empowering Green Spaces to behave as Urban Cool Islands, to combat Urban/Global Warming.
