Abstract
This study explores the multi-temporal Local Climate Zone mapping of large functional urban areas in Canada (Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg), for seven census years between 1986-2016. While this has been done before by a few others, none of these studies go back that far in time, nor apply the approach on as many urban functional areas and intermediate years.
