Urban Mapping
Track urban sprawl, new construction and territorial change.
Smart City & Intelligent Territories
Smart City
Space in service of smarter territories
Satellites continuously observe, measure and analyse the evolution of territories. Combined with artificial intelligence, this data enables local authorities and infrastructure operators to better understand their environment, anticipate risks and make more effective decisions.
Context
Why use space technology in territorial management?
Every day, cities produce millions of data points. Yet local data alone does not always provide a comprehensive, coherent picture of the territory.
Earth observation adds an additional layer of information. This continuous, objective view helps guide investment and improve the management of public services.
- urban evolution
- land use
- mobility
- environmental quality
- natural hazards
- energy performance
Capabilities
What space enables us to monitor.
Six observation families to understand, measure and anticipate territorial evolution from orbit.
Urban Heat Islands
Identify the neighbourhoods most exposed to extreme heat.
Mobility
Analyse traffic flows and territorial dynamics.
Land Artificialisation
Measure the evolution of natural and built surfaces.
Environmental Quality
Monitor vegetation, moisture levels and the health of green spaces.
Natural Hazards
Monitor flooding, ground movement and drought.
Thermal mapping of the most exposed neighbourhoods.
Analysis of traffic flows and territorial dynamics.
Use Cases
One architecture, benefits for every stakeholder.
Metropolitan Authorities
Optimising land-use and planning policies.
Urban Agglomerations
Infrastructure planning and development.
Water Operators
Resource management and crisis anticipation.
Electrical Networks
