SMURBS participated, through its Project Coordinator, in the Ecocity Forum 2018. Dr. E. Gerasopoulos joined the Plenary Session III, “Technical Innovation and Economy Transition from Products to Services”, as a Keynote speaker presenting how Earth Observations carry the smart city concept further. The whole idea is implemented within SMURBS project, which will: unfold the full range of technologically available methods for the next generation of urban monitoring capacities, adjusted to modern needs of AQ management; address natural and anthropogenic disasters affecting cities, covering all phases of their management cycle; identify and define urban development indicators by utilizing Copernicus satellites; and delineate health reciprocal relations to facilitate the potential weighing of mitigation options. To this end, SMURBS employs multiple EO platforms (i.e. satellites, in-situ, modeling, UAVs, smart sensors, citizen observatories) for city-scale applications and solutions.
