How does it work?

Urban planners lack detailed historical data on expansion and land-use transitions, hindering evidence-based city development. Automated change detection from multi-temporal imagery fills this gap, providing accurate spatial trends and temporal analytics for informed decision-making.

Decadal Trend Analysis: Visualize urban growth patterns over decades using consistent satellite data. Identify hotspots of expansion and stagnation to guide zoning and resource allocation.
Automated Change Detection: AI-powered algorithms compare multi-temporal imagery to detect built-up area changes. This automation reduces manual mapping time by up to 80% while maintaining accuracy.
Land-use Transition Mapping: Classify shifts between residential, commercial, and green spaces using advanced spectral analysis. This clarity helps planners assess redevelopment and preservation needs.
Infrastructure Impact Assessment: Quantify how roads and transit expansions influence urban morphology. Correlate infrastructure projects with density changes to optimize future investments.
High-Resolution Insights: Incorporate sub-meter drone and aerial imagery for neighborhood-level detail. This granularity supports fine-scale interventions such as street redesign and pocket park placement.
Seamless GIS Integration: Export results directly into popular GIS platforms via standard shapefiles and APIs. This compatibility streamlines workflows and supports real-time planning dashboards.

Frequently asked questions

Have a different question and can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Reach out to our support team by sending us an email and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

How does historical change detection compare to manual urban surveys?: Automated analytics processes years of imagery in hours compared to weeks of field surveys. While manual surveys provide on-the-ground context, AI-driven detection scales across entire metropolitan regions.
What are the limitations of satellite-based urban monitoring?: Satellite imagery may be obstructed by clouds or low resolution in older archives, affecting detection precision. Combining with aerial or drone data can mitigate these gaps.
Why is this solution popular among city planners?: Planners appreciate the ability to quantify long-term growth trends without extensive fieldwork. The visual change maps simplify stakeholder communication and support sustainable policies.
Can I use alternative data sources like OpenStreetMap?: Yes, integrating vector datasets such as OpenStreetMap enriches land-use classification and road network validation. However, user-generated data may vary in accuracy and coverage.
How frequently can the platform update change maps?: Update frequency depends on data availability; satellite revisits enable 5–10 day monitoring while drone flights can be scheduled on demand. Automated workflows trigger analyses as soon as new imagery is ingested.
Are there comparable solutions for urban change analysis?: Other platforms offer change detection, but few combine AI-driven analytics with high-resolution historical archives. Our solution stands out for its temporal depth and seamless GIS integration.
