This work showcases how the use of geospatial information derived from very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery can contribute into development of a framework to examine how urban spaces can
transform urban environments by promoting inclusive green growth and enhancing livability in megacities. Starting with Karachi (Pakistan) and Dhaka (Bangladesh) as pilot cities, the World Bank Urbanscapes Group has initiated an Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA) activity to support ongoing
investment operations on the ground. It is envisaged that this ASA will be scaled up to other global megacities and large cities in the near future.
