Authors Biography
Sawaid Abbas Sawaid Abbas is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Land Surveying and Geo‐informatics in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests include integrative analysis of remote sensing, landscape ecology, urban ecology, urban microclimate simulation, and monitoring of vegetation response to extreme climate events.
Shlomo (Solly) Angel Shlomo (Solly) Angel is a Professor of City Planning and the Director of the Urban Expansion Program at the Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University, USA. He is the author of Planet of Cities (2012) and Housing Policy Matters (2000), the leading author of the Atlas of Urban Expansion (2016 Edition), and a coauthor of A Pattern Language (1977). Since 2012, he has led teams assisting intermediate cities in Colombia and Ethiopia in preparing for their rapid expansion. Dr. Angel holds an architecture degree and a doctorate in City and Regional Planning from the University of California at Berkeley.
Yifang Ban Yifang Ban is a Professor and Director of Geoinformatics Division at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Before joining KTH, Dr. Ban was a Tenured Associate Professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She received a PhD from the University of Waterloo, Canada. Her research has focused on multitemporal multisensor remote sensing, EO big data analytics, and their applications in urban mapping, environmental change monitoring, and environmental impact analysis, among others. She has published extensively on these topics. She is a colead of the GEO initiative “Global Urban Observation and Information,” and a Co‐Chair for the Commission on Sensor‐Driven Mapping, International Cartographic Association.
