The College of Science at the University of Baghdad recently hosted a workshop organised by the Department of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems. The workshop underscored the essential role of remote sensing technologies in monitoring the rapid expansion of urban areas.
During the proceedings, speakers discussed how remote sensing improves spatial data analysis. They emphasised its crucial role in sustainable urban planning, infrastructure development, resource management, disaster response and the creation of smart cities that cater to the challenges of rapid population growth and evolving urban needs.
Faculty members, graduate students and urban planning professionals were recognised as key contributors to the future of urban planning by applying these innovative technologies, highlighting the significant contribution of the workshop to sustainable development policies.
