One of the key geographical developments over the last two centuries has been that of urbanisation. In recent years this has exploded globally, particularly in developing countries. It is essential for governments, planners and researchers in geography and allied fields to understand this process and the main way of being able to do this is to accurately map these changes. The main method of this mapping is Remote Sensing. This up-to-date analysis of the area looks at a wide range of methodologies currently being used to produce and analyse remotely sensed data of urban areas. The authors examine the various techniques used to extract information from digital, multispectral images of urban areas. Donnay and Barnsley then go on to look at the identification of urban forms, the delineation of agglomerations and the development of urban morphology, considering the analysis of integrated data sets and surface models and going on to look at the estimation of human population levels. eBook available with sample pages: 0203306066

Academic publisher, Pion, has an outstanding reputation for
publishing high quality journals in the fields of geography,
physics and experimental psychology. The four geographical journals
in the Pion stable - the Environment and Planning series - are
committed to publishing innovative, interdisciplinary quality
papers which tackle a range of important questions. This
collection, edited by a stellar editorial team under the leadership
of Stuart Elden and published by SAGE, draws from all four journals
to showcase the best of the best on offer in urban and regional
research. Volume One: Cities and Regions provides a selection of
papers from the original journal in the series, focused on the
opportunities and challenges associated with urban and regional
transformations around the world. The wide-ranging remit of the
journal allows readers to draw on sources from many disciplines -
geography, sociology, economics, environmental science, political
science, planning, and regional studies. Volume Two: Planning and
Design brings together seminal articles that promote research
relating to spatial problems and plans concerning the built
environment and the spatial structure of cities and regions. It
brings an avowedly interdisciplinary approach to urban design,
planning, modeling, simulation, GIS and spatial analysis, focusing
on new scientific and computational approaches. Volume Three:
Government and Policy presents the path-breaking papers that have
been at the forefront of research on government, governance, and
innovations in public policy. The journal encourages international
perspectives and dialogue as illustrated by the varied selection in
this volume. Volume Four: Society and Space brings together papers
from the pre-eminent journal for interdisciplinary debates around
society and space involving, among others, philosophers,
sociologists, anthropologists, historians and political scientists.
It includes articles that exemplify the discussion of the mutually
constitutive relation between the social and the spatial. Volume
Five: Foundations, edited by the whole team, rounds off the
collection with a selection of articles that eloquently demonstrate
the theoretically sophisticated and practically relevant focus of
this remarkable family of journals.
