Utilizing Remote Sensing to Assess the Implication of Tall Building Performance on the Resilience of Urban Centers

Tall buildings have become a staple of the central business district in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. They facilitate increased residential and commercial development, offering higher density occupancy compared to their low-rise counterparts on the same area of land. The overall goal of this project is to develop scientific methodologies that enable the use of remote sensing to assess and enhance the seismic resilience of tall buildings in dense urban environments.
