Human settlement patterns are changing on a daily basis. Remote sensing can provide up to date information and analysis, not just of urbanisation patterns, but of population movements, health care issues, population estimation and heat and water maps.

This cutting edge collection and analysis will drive planning and resource allocation going forwards. Initially it will identify the subject areas to look at and then refine these to a small, but cutting edge number:

Urban Growth and Expansion Monitoring

Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) Mapping

Infrastructure and Housing Analysis

Environmental Impact Assessment

Population Estimation

Disaster Management and Resilience

Smart City Planning

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands

Challenges in Using Remote Sensing for Human Settlements

Future Trends ( The integration of remote sensing with artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics.
