Lessons learned
Benefits
• Developments and their spatial context
• Information about terrain
• Free and user-friendly
Constrains
• Low temporal resolution
Conclusions
• Satellite-based maps do make a difference
• Useful tool to tackle climate chance
• Can be applied to both mitigation and adaptation
• Particularly useful in the planning context
• Google maps have limitations – temporal resolution
• Access to better resources should be supported
