IPTSAT will host a webinar on ‘Copernicus for Smart Cities: Using Satellite Data to Support Urban Decisions’. The event is designed for public administration technicians, urban planners and professionals interested in leveraging satellite data for land-use planning.
In the webinar, IPTSAT experts will demonstrate how to access Copernicus data and apply it to urban planning. Participants will learn how to
- Access satellite data from the Copernicus program
- Find and download Sentinel imagery
- Explore data using online tools
- Integrate satellite data into GIS software
- Use data for environmental and urban analysis
Tools to be featured include the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, the Copernicus Browser, and QGIS integration via openEO (including short practical demonstrations on how to get started).
Real-world examples of satellite data for urban monitoring will be explored, such as urban heat islands; urban greenery distribution and health monitoring; land consumption, tracking soil sealing and urban growth; and water quality monitoring.
