             abstract = "Urban heat is a growing concern in rapidly expanding cities 
                         worldwide, posing significant risks to human health and 
                         well-being. This paper investigates the hypothesis that precarious 
                         settlements characterized by inadequate infrastructure and limited 
                         resources, are more exposed to Urban Heat. Taking S{\~a}o Paulo, 
                         Brazil, and Delhi, India, two megacities as case studies, Land 
                         Surface Temperature (LST) is used to determine the extent of heat 
                         exposure in these settlements. In S{\~a}o Paulo, despite diverse 
                         locations, Corti{\c{c}}os and Favelas exhibit high LST values 
                         (35.80°C and 34.76°C), emphasizing challenges tied to inadequate 
                         infrastructure. Notably, industrial areas display a lower LST 
                         (32.54°C), while gated housing communities benefit from 
                         well-planned layouts, resulting in lower LST values. In Delhi, 
                         unauthorized colonies and slums experience elevated LST values 
                         (35.90°C and 35.10°C), attributed to limited vegetation and 
                         substandard housing materials. Commercial and industrial areas in 
                         Delhi demonstrate higher LST values (35.79°C and 36.38°C), 
                         emphasizing the impact of building density. The study reveals a 
                         dual nature of urban heat challenges in Delhi, with the western 
                         part exhibiting the highest LST values due to barren agricultural 
                         land post-harvest. The findings suggest that precarious 
                         settlements face higher levels of urban heat, emphasizing the need 
                         for targeted interventions to mitigate heat-related risks in 
                         vulnerable communities.",
