Drones & Satellite Imagery
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an important role in last-mile service delivery around the world. However, COVID-19 has highlighted a potentially broader role that UAVs could play - in cities.

This report provides practical and applied guidance to lower-income cities looking to explore how drones can support key urban objectives.
