Las zonas climáticas locales (LCZ) son el sistema de clasificación para los estudios del clima urbano y ofrecen un enfoque que distingue áreas según el uso del suelo, la cobertura del suelo y las propiedades físicas. Este artículo presenta LCZ4r, un paquete R diseñado para analizar LCZ y islas de calor urbanas (UHI). Desarrollado en la plataforma de programación de código abierto R, sus funciones se categorizan en dos tipos: las funciones generales, permiten la extracción del mapa LCZ para cualquier área seca del mundo - desde barrios hasta ciudades, así como el cálculo de áreas de clase LCZ y la obtención de parámetros físicos; y funciones locales, que requieren datos primarios sobre variables ambientales para tareas tales como el cálculo de anomalías térmicas entre LCZ, la interpolación de temperatura y la evaluación de la intensidad de UHI. Se destaca la importancia de LCZ4r en la búsqueda de nuevas formas de planificación urbana, la lucha contra la crisis climática y la promoción de la democratización de la ciência.
