| book description |

Urban Observation and Social Sensing helps readers see cities in a way they have seldom imagined before. Advanced technologies such as satellites in space, near surface drones, or even smartphones, can be used to explain how a city functions, or why certain areas are more populated than others. It examines the science of capturing city images and information gathered from above the ground combined with the information from social media and mobile data on the ground, and how to make sense of it all. From planning better neighborhoods to understanding how city life affects health, this book is a guide to the future of urban living and the technologies that help navigate it. Features Covers a broad spectrum of urban observation methods in one resource to ensure a thorough understanding of diverse data collection methods. Provides a unique emphasis on social sensing to enable a more holistic and human-centric view of urban landscapes. Includes practical applications to showcase how the data and methodologies can be used in real-world scenarios. Explains the current technologies and methodologies but also offers insights into the future trajectory of urban science. Integrates technological advances with informed urban planning and real-time insights to elucidate a holistic understanding of urban spaces. This is an excellent, insightful resource for researchers, academics, students, and professionals in remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems, urban planning and design, data science, geography, earth science, and those interested in the future of urban living and planning.
