Session Description: This special paper session serves as a forum for researchers to communicate their current development regarding the use of remote sensing and GIS for urban analysis. You are invited to submit abstracts for presentations in this special paper session. Aspects considered include, but not limited to:  
Remotely sensed data requirements for urban landscape characterization;
Digital image processing procedures for deriving accurate and consistent information on urban attributes from remotely sensed data;
Analytical techniques and methodologies for deriving indicators of social and economic conditions that prevail within urban landscape;  
Urban landscape change monitoring and mapping case studies;
Impacts of urbanization upon ecological and social environments;
Urban landscape simulation and predictive modeling based on remotely sensed data;
Interface between remote sensing/GIS and urban geography; and
Urban remote sensing education.
