Scientists Introduce 'Urban Pulse' for Real-Time City Monitoring from Space

Researchers have developed the 'Urban Pulse' concept, which uses high-frequency satellite imagery to measure cities' real-time metabolic activity. This method allows scientists to track urban development and how cities respond to global events, similar to an EKG for a human heart. The 'Urban Pulse' could serve as an early warning system for urban decay or unsustainable sprawl, aiding urban planning and environmental monitoring.
