project , which provides a detailed three-dimensional view of cities and rural areas around the world.
explained that the new map helps improve urban planning, road construction, and protecting populations from natural disasters. He added that this high level of accuracy is no longer limited to just a few countries, but now encompasses the entire world, including impoverished areas in Africa, South America, and Asia.
The map's importance extends beyond simply counting buildings; it also includes their sizes and per capita building rates , an indicator reflecting the level of economic development in different countries. This data enables better urban planning, including resource allocation, the construction of schools, hospitals, and roads, and contributes to combating climate change by calculating carbon dioxide emissions and planning green spaces.
The map is also useful for protection against natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and fires, as it provides an accurate picture of the location and condition of buildings, thus enhancing preparedness and emergency interventions effectively.
