Geo-Spatial Technologies in Urban Environments

Policy, Practice, and Pixels
Langbeschreibung
This book expands the current frame of reference of remote sensing and geographic information specialists to include an array of socio-economic and related planning issues. Using remotely sensed data, the project explores the efficacy and policy implications of new approaches toward analyzing data, integrates approaches from human geography and explores the utility of employing geo-technologies to further the politics of local growth and smart growth coalitions, as in green space programs.
Hauptbeschreibung
Alternate methodological approach to understanding urban change by using remote sensing technologies and geographic information systems to explore issues often ignored by the mainstream of geo-technical specialists.
