Description

Student will use earth observation based data and techniques to understand urban socioeconomic patterns, and attempt to interpret these patterns by using physical metrics of urban morphology obtained through earth observation based techniques. The study will explore the potential of earth observation in understanding urban development, and explore the implication of this knowledge in the practice of urban planning and design.

Objectives and Methodology

Understanding how urban processes give rise to urban forms based upon earth observation
