Abstract: Highlights•SUHI studies using only GIS and RS data have limitations.•SVI was used to capture ground-level streetscapes in Guangzhou.•SVI enhances UHI modeling with stronger explanatory power than GIS and RS alone.•Spatial regression reveals significant UHI spillover effects.•Sky view factor showed a positive correlation with UHI.
