Harnessing Satellite Insights for Building Resilient and Sustainable Cities: Baku State University’s Ecologists in Action: As the rapid growth of cities continues to place pressure on natural resources, infrastructure, and social systems, the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning has become increasingly urgent. This challenge is especially visible in densely populated regions such as the Kur–Araz plain, where environmental degradation, the expansion of built-up areas, and unequal access to services are becoming more pronounced. Responding to these dynamics, researchers and students of the Faculty of Ecology and Soil Science at Baku State University have embarked on an ambitious initiative that integrates satellite analytics with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support scientifically grounded urban development strategies.
