The Operational Use of Remote Sensing in Municipalities: A Global Expert-based Study
Arthur Lehner
This book presents the operational use of remote sensing in municipalities for urban planning purposes. Through a unique study among more than 70 cities and institutions in 41 countries, it reveals the remaining gap of knowledge and awareness for remote sensing data, methods, and instruments. It sheds light on the uncertainties and shows what remote sensing data are acquired and by which departments they are used. The tasks and activities remote sensing data are used for, are extensively presented. In the times of open government data, digital citizenship and participation movements, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and intends to raise the awareness for the importance of remote sensing to the society.

My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.
If you took our top fifteen decisions out, we’d have a pretty average record. It wasn’t hyperactivity, but a hell of a lot of patience. You stuck to your principles and when opportunities came along, you pounced on them with vigor.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Keep reading books, but remember that a book is only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
We read to know that we are not alone.
Today, if you look at financial systems around the globe, more than half the population of the world - out of six billion people, more than three billion - do not qualify to take out a loan from a bank. This is a shame.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
