Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in the
field of urban planning and management and provide better solutions
for numerous urban problems. With GIS, one has the ability to
better understand existing requirements of a city and its design to
fulfill those needs. This book contributes to developing scientific
knowledge based on geospatial technologies among planners,
researchers, scientists, professionals, students, and laymen and
providing them with better understanding for urban planning and
management at various levels. The book manifests the importance of
GIS in better understanding of current urban challenges and
provides new insights on how to apply GIS in urban planning. It
also encourages the various stakeholders of society to participate
in the decision-making process and assists planners and authorities
to formulate suitable plans for sustainable urban growth of a
region. The book is divided into two parts. The first part
describes the fundamental concepts of GIS and also deals with the
advanced techniques of spatial planning. The second part addresses
real-world case studies using various applications of GIS. The case
studies include urban land-use changes, simulation of future urban
growth, urban heat island, alternate landfill site selection and
urban flood susceptibility mapping, among others. This book shows
how to integrate GIS with remote sensing, geostatistics, artificial
intelligence-machine learning techniques, and other cutting-edge
technologies. Readers find this book to be an invaluable resource
for understanding and solving problems relating to sustainable
urban planning and management.
