Smart Buildings and Cities with Remote Sensing and GIS

The book studies applications of remote sensing and GIS to highlight the possible integration of the advanced applications of remote sensing and GIS-based technologies in the architecture of smart buildings and city planning. It demonstrates the integration of remote sensing and GIS technologies applications and adaptations through case studies. It leads with the concepts of remote sensing, GIS, architectural and planning practices and how both these fields can be integrated together for smart construction, designing and planning of settlements. It demonstrates the latest works through case studies, the integration of remote sensing and GIS technologies applications and adaptations within the domain of architecture and planning. The book argues that the adaptation of BIM-GIS Integration, the building's information system and its subsequent monitoring and maintenance can be improved. Additionally, appropriate AI and machine learning-based geospatial analysis can automate the process of urban growth forecasting and simulation with reasonably accurate spatial components. It shows how both domains can be integrated to broaden each other's scope of advancement.
