Abstract

AbstractThe present contribution is about a preliminary study of the evolution of Niamey city (Niger) during last decades.Recent advances in remote sensing, both in satellite hardware technology and image availability development, provide opportunities image collection and multitemporal analysis on urban form and size that can be useful for policy and planning. Some opportunities for, and limitations on, monitoring urban growth using remote sensing data are shown in the present contribution; moreover examples of environmental impacts of urban growth, as monitored with remote sensing, are provided in order to define future development of dumps and quarries and its environmental impacts on Niamey city.
