Combining publicly available Google Street View (GSV) images with deep learning and radiative transfer models enables researchers to assess urban physical and thermal environments, especially in high-density areas. This book introduces this advanced approach, which provides large-scale, high-accuracy, and high-density measurements of street-level urban features-key to understanding urban radiation balance and thermal dynamics.By leveraging GSV images, this method directly characterizes urban streetscapes, including structural and geometric attributes, allowing for a comprehensive assessment. Moreover, the methods can be applied to any geographical location covered by GSV, making it a low-cost and effective tool for urban studies globally. This is particularly advantageous compared to traditional 3D-GIS models, which may not always be freely available or as extensive in coverage as GSV images.Lessons from Street Sensing provide data-driven insights for urban planning and governance. The accurate mapping of street view factors and solar irradiance helps identify areas with insufficient greenery, excessive or insufficient solar exposure, and other urban environment issues. These insights can help policymakers and urban planners mitigate negative environmental impacts and improve urban living conditions.
Dr Gong is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Public Administration and Policy, Renmin University of China, and a Distinguished Young Scholar of the RUC. She held Ph.D. in Architecture from The Chinese University of Hong Kong from 2014-2019 with joint building technology training by the School of Architecture and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2017-2018, and was a Research Associate at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), 2020-2021. Her research focuses on smart city and spatial governance, resilient city and environmental governance, as well as digital government and data governance. Her work has been awarded the Postgraduate Research Output Award from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2018), the Global Excellence Research Award (2017), and the First Prize in Humanities and Social Sciences Research in Macau (2012). As a Principal Investigator, Dr. Gong has led projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Education's Social Science Fund, and the Fundamental Research Funds for Central Universities. She has also been a key researcher in international projects with NASA-JPL, the Macao SAR Government, and the Hong Kong Planning Department. Her work has contributed significantly to climate-adaptive urban planning and resilient urban governance.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
