Project Experience · Remote Sensing / Urban Change

Monitoring Urban Change in Egypt

Dated imagery documents urban transformation at Tal al-Aqrab / Rawdat El-Sayeda and Maspero.

Project overview

The project material presents time-series imagery for two documented urban locations in Egypt: Tal al-Aqrab / Rawdat El-Sayeda and Maspero. The dated records allow the spatial extent and form of change to be reviewed visually across the available periods.
