Klappentext
Urban informatics is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding, managing, and designing cities using methods based on advanced geospatial methods, computer-based information technologies and other emerging tools. This book provides understanding of developments in geospatial and computational techniques, focusing on the growth/pattern of cities and its implications for the development of smart and sustainable cities from the SDGs perspectives. It covers sustainable development, land use patterns, urban growth analysis, environmental impacts, infrastructure management, and policy. Focuses on interdisciplinary approach using geospatial data, GIS, and advanced computational methods to address the challenges in urban informatics. Addresses the problems in implementing smart city initiatives, designing more adaptive, responsive, and resilient cities Offers insightful dimensions to better understand the spatial urban pattern and future projection of for suitable planning and management Discusses theoretical and applied research practices along with background information on the use of advanced technologies in the domain of urban studies Includes practical examples, case studies, and methodologies This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental engineering and remote sensing.
