Cities around the world are facing massive challenges in managing rapid urbanization from ensuring adequate housing and infrastructure to support growing populations, to confronting the environmental impact of urban sprawl, and to reducing vulnerability to disasters. As the world becomes more dependent on technology, it is necessary that new technologies are working to improve these problems. This research specifically focuses on the current technologies used for tracking deforestation and improving urban transport flow. Using Protege, a semantic modeling tool, an ontology was created to model how space technologies and remote sensing are being developed to mitigate these effects of climate change.
