In addition, the two sides held discussions. RADI Deputy Director Prof. LIU Jianbo firstly welcomed the delegation. Then the two sides had discussions about such topics as city planning and land utilization, satellite positioning and data services, UAV photography, 3D modelling, and development of smart cities. They agreed that remote sensing technology could be used to efficiently solve the problems arising from the city planning and development process. Thus they will further strengthen the application of such technology in city planning with joint efforts.
