Identifying where and when urban renewal occurs: a continuous change detection-based framework using two decades' worth of Landsat data

Urban Renewal & Remote Sensing 🏙️ What if satellites could tell us when a city breathes, rebuilds, and transforms? A new study used 20 years of Landsat satellite data to map urban renewal in Beijing—capturing not just where old buildings were torn down and rebuilt, but when and how fast the changes happened.
