Air pollution represents a significant challenge to the sustainability of urban areas and the public's health. The increasing concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere, including various gases and particulate matter, result in poor outdoor air quality, which has a direct impact on the health of the population and the smooth functioning of everyday society. The objective of this study was to ascertain the impact of the Teilor Park development on the air quality in the area by monitoring the trend of the PM2.5 and PM10 indicators, as well as the land surface temperature (LST), using satellite images. The results of the analysis indicated that urban planning had a positive impact on the elements and air quality under study. The amount of AOD has decreased considerably over the period studied, by 8.9%. In terms of the elements determined on this basis, PM2.5 showed a decrease of 5.4% over the 2019-2022 timeframe and PM10 showed a decrease of 6.9%. The analysis was conducted using the Google Earth Engine platform, using MODIS sensor data for the period between 2019 and 2022.
