Urban Desing

Today the practice of urban design has forged a distinctive identity with applications at many different scales – ranging from the block or street scale to the scale of metropolitan and regional landscapes.

An examination of urban climate change response strategies and the resistance to them by local activists and social movements.

Recently, remote sensing and GIS techniques have gained increasing importance for rapid urbanization, the expansion of urban growth, and the enlargement of populations, due to the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms. This Special Issue aims to present the state-of-the-art research on optics, SAR, hyperspectral images, and GIS techniques for monitoring urban area environments corresponding to changes in times using publicly available and commercial datasets such as satellite and UAV data.
