SDG Indicator 11.7.1

General Information

This repository contains the code developed for mapping urban open spaces (UOS) and land allocated to streets (LAS) at the city level, using Planetscope and Sentinel-1 imagery and deep learning, for aiding the calculation of SDG indicator 11.7.1.

alt text Urban open spaces (UOS) mapped using only Planetscope imagery (a,b) and using both Planetscope and Stneinl-1 (c,d), in densely built-up areas (a,c) and in green suburbs of the Athens metropolitan area (b,d)

alt text Land Allocated to Streets (LAS) mapped in (a) the industrial region of Athens, (b) in the old city of Athens
