A comprehensive pipeline to analyze and predict urban growth in Cairo, Egypt between 2018 and 2025, leveraging geospatial data processing and machine learning. # Geospatial Intelligence System for Monitoring Urban & Geographic Changes A comprehensive pipeline to analyze and predict urban growth in Cairo, Egypt between 2018 and 2025, leveraging geospatial data processing and machine learning. --- ## 🚀 Project Overview Cities are ever-evolving systems, and understanding patterns of urban expansion is crucial for sustainable planning. This project: * **Processes** high-resolution (10 m) and projected (100 m) raster datasets from the European Commission’s Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL). * **Detects** changes in built-up areas between 2018 and 2025. * **Visualizes** spatial patterns of urban growth, stability, and decline. * **Applies** a Random Forest classifier to predict change pixels using spectral features and local texture statistics. ## 📂 Repository Structure ``` ├── data/ # Raw and processed raster datasets │ ├── GHS_BUILT_S_E2018.tif # 2018 built-up data (10 m) │ └── GHS_BUILT_S_E2025.tif # 2025 projected data (100 m) │ ├── notebooks/ # Jupyter notebooks │ ├── gis-project-both.ipynb # Full geospatial workflow (preprocessing, change maps) │ └── gis-project-ml.ipynb # ML pipeline (feature extraction, model training & evaluation) │ ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├── README.md # Project overview and instructions └── LICENSE # Project license (e.g., MIT) ``` ## 🛠️ Prerequisites & Installation 1. **Clone the repo** ```bash git clone github.com /geospatial-intelligence-system.git cd geospatial-intelligence-system ``` 2. **Create a virtual environment** (recommended) ```bash python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS venv\\Scripts\\activate # Windows ``` 3. **Install dependencies** ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` > **Key libraries:** `geopandas`, `rasterio`, `numpy`, `matplotlib`, `scikit-learn`, `jupyter` ## 💻 Usage ### 1.
