This paper aims at providing an introductionto the topic of urban area management through remote sensing. It builds over the experience of the GUS (GMES Urban Service) project, funded by ESA in the framework of GMES Service Elements (GSE). We explore the potential of Earth Observation data for the extraction of aggregated data (maps, indicators, ...) useful to urban planners and managers. More specific results for land use and sealing area mapping are offered to provide a living example of the outputs of the project and the problems as well as the achievements of current analysis algorithms.

Abstract

This paper aims at providing an introductionto the topic of urban area management through remote sensing. It builds over the experience of the GUS (GMES Urban Service) project, funded by ESA in the framework of GMES Service Elements (GSE). We explore the potential of Earth Observation data for the extraction of aggregated data (maps, indicators, ...) useful to urban planners and managers. More specific results for land use and sealing area mapping are offered to provide a living example of the outputs of the project and the problems as well as the achievements of current analysis algorithms.
