Urban Remote Sensing: Monitoring, Synthesis, and Modeling in the Urban Environment (edited by Xiaojun Yang, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2011, 408 pages) Urban Remote Sensing is a ‘state-of-the-art’ review of the latest developments in the subject. It examines how the new concepts, technologies and methods in remote sensing can be innovatively used to solve problems relevant to a wide range of topics that extend beyond urban feature extraction into areas of urban socioeconomic and environmental analysis and predictive modeling of urbanization. The text covers the advances in sensors and algorithms for deriving urban attribute information, clearly explains how to integrate remote sensor data and other types of geospatial information for developing indicators of urban socioeconomic and environmental conditions, and creatively explores the roles of remote sensing for urban growth simulation and predictive modeling.
