Potential and status of high-resolution remote sensing information applied in urban planning in China

This paper discussed several facets of remote sensing information applying in urban planning in China. It emphasized the application and development process for high resolution remote sensing information during the last years, including new satellite-borne and airborne high resolution optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing data sources. And, the corresponding application questions about application history and status, main data processing flow, advantages and questions, the development potential in future and so on were discussed in detail.
