The City Academy on geospatial data application presents the main concepts of using satellite data and types of satellite data to be used for geo-spatial products. Furthermore, the event draws on a wealth of experiences from the European Space Agency (ESA) supported by “Earth Observation for Sustainable Development” (EO4SD) Urban program’s collaboration with World Bank and GPSC in the past 3 years presenting case studies on the various utilities of geo-spatial data for Bank programs. The main objective is to raise awareness on the applications of geo-spatial data, challenges for implementation and sustainability of the technology.
