Telespazio has made a fundamental contribution to the exhibition by providing satellite pictures of 16 large cities – including Caracas, Cairo, Los Angeles, London, Milan and Tokyo – chosen to represent the megalopolises of our time in a new light.
These images of the Earth, taken by a satellite 450 km away, offer an increasingly higher resolution, now at less than a metre, and are an indispensable tool for town planning and land monitoring.
Seen from space, cities take on a whole new dimension, one that is extremely useful for those studying environmental, town planning, demographic and economic problems in depth.
