THE ROLE OF THE REMOTE SENSING DATA IN THE MONITORING AND PLANNING OF THE URBAN LANDSCAPES

Abstract

The more people are moving to the cities, so the cities that are in balance with nature are the goal of the human activity. One of the challenges in the achieving this goal is to act intelligently in terms of the monitoring and planning, the designing and organizing the urban landscapes. The article discusses the methods of remote sensing, which are one of the new areas of the urban territories research, since the remote sensing data allow the predicting the further development of cities, promptly making the decisions on the effective use of limited resources, in particular, the municipal land.
