Home Urban Studies

GSTPL contributes to urban planning and management in several ways. Some of them are highlighted below.

Land Use and Land Cover Mapping

We at GSTPL use high-resolution satellite imagery, for classifying land use and land cover within urban areas. This helps our client to understand the spatial distribution of different land uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, and green spaces, which forms the basis for urban planning decisions.

Urban Growth Monitoring

With the help of historical satellite imageries we enhance the analytical capabilities of the urban planners to understand patterns of urbanization, identify areas experiencing rapid growth or sprawl, and anticipate future development trends. This allows them to plan for sustainable urban development and infrastructure planning.

Infrastructure Planning and Management

In addition to that our team of experts process geospatial data that can aid in the planning and management of urban infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and transportation networks. This crucial information helps various government and private agencies to assess existing infrastructure, identify areas in need of repair or expansion, and plan for the optimal location of new infrastructure projects.

Disaster Management and Resilience Planning

We also facilitate our clients with solutions for disaster management and resilience planning in the urban areas. Our experts deal in the processing and analysis of various real time data that can be used for early detection and monitoring of natural disasters such as floods, wildfires, and landslides. Additionally, we provide them with damage assessment and impact analysis, vulnerability mapping, risk assessment and mitigation planning, community engagement and decision support.
