Thus for town planning, we must consider the environment from a global perspective. Naoki TakagiProfessorGraduated Tokyo Institute of Technology doctoral program, Major subject is urban environment, remote-sensing and heat environment.Thermal image from helicopter (altitude:1000m) of central urban area in Nagano city.
