Geospatial Intelligence in Urban Planning: Building Smarter, Greener Cities
Cities are growing rapidly, putting pressure on infrastructure, environment, and resources. Geospatial intelligence — leveraging remote sensing, Earth observation (EO), and AI — is helping planners design more livable, climate-resilient, and efficient cities.
Urban Heat Island Detection and Climate Planning
- Use thermal satellite imaging to identify urban heat islands (UHIs) and temperature disparity zones.
- Strategically plan green roofs, urban forests, and reflective surfaces to cool hotspots.
- LYRASENSE-supported strategies lead to 15% reduction in cooling energy use.
Smart Zoning and Infrastructure Optimization
- Visualize land use patterns, density maps, and terrain models for smarter zoning.
- Detect unplanned development and assess infrastructure strain.
- Prioritize transit-oriented development and equitable infrastructure allocation.
Traffic Flow and Urban Mobility Analysis
- Integrate traffic sensor data with satellite movement trends for congestion management.
- Inform placement of bus corridors, bike lanes, and pedestrian zones.
- Model future development impact on road infrastructure.
Urban Green Space Planning
- Monitor vegetation cover change and green space equity across districts.
- Identify urban zones lacking access to parks and canopy coverage.
- Support UN SDG 11 and city sustainability metrics.
Disaster Risk Mapping and Resilience
- Detect flood zones, fire-prone areas, and structural vulnerabilities using satellite-derived insights.
- Guide emergency preparedness, zoning restrictions, and insurance risk modeling.
How LYRASENSE Empowers Urban Innovators
- AI-driven urban planning assistant for spatial insights and what-if scenarios.
- Dashboards for city leaders, planners, and climate task forces.
- Natural language interface: “Which neighborhoods gained vegetation this year?”
- Interoperable outputs with ArcGIS, QGIS, and smart city platforms.
Shaping the Cities of Tomorrow with Space Intelligence
With LYRASENSE, planners are no longer limited to static maps or siloed datasets. Geospatial intelligence makes real-time, cross-functional urban innovation possible.
