The users in smart cities include urban planners, architects, spatial planning offices, urban policy makers. The users benefit from EO information through map information about urban structures and related land use when managing land use, climate change adaptation, and urban green infrastructure. Typical use cases include Urban adaptation to climate change and Green infrastructure and its ecosystem services to increase quality of life of citizens (https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/land-use-cases)
Explain a use case of EO for smart cities, e.g. how EO derived information about urban green instrastructure supports designing nature based solutions for preserving ecosystem services
Determine requirements and quality criteria for an EO information product that serves spatial planners in monitoring soil sealing
Monitor changes in infrastructure
Assess environmental impact of human activities
