Seminar: Geospatial modelling of urban dynamics and sustainability

Urban areas are growing rapidly in Finland, Europe, China and especially in Africa, which creates challenges for green spaces, traffic, air quality and urban planning. University of Helsinki has focused on land use mapping and urban sustainability and accessibility research in cooperation with Finnish Environment Institute, National Land Survey and Wuhan University, China. Welcome to hear about the outcomes and current focus of the research!
