Abstract
Urban research is now evolving, and there are several challenges that need to be addressed in the near future, which has led to pathways for further development. The scientific community must consider a multitude of options for urban monitoring, evaluation, planning, and management. In this chapter, we have provided a brief overview of different models for urban studies and research based on Earth observation datasets. This chapter discusses a variety of potential research areas, including satellite-based monitoring of urban areas, IoT and cloud computing in urban management, and the use of machine learning in urban environmental research. In addition to digitization, the availability of big data sets, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize the way urban areas are analyzed and planned, opening up new possibilities for sustainable urban challenges. The chapter outlines qualitative and quantitative methods utilizing predictive models and scenario analysis for identifying and implementing urban environmental policies. The recommendations provided in this chapter can be used for further urban studies, research, and the development of smart and resilient cities. � 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
