		The city of Riyadh has also grown quickly in the past few decades, and its weather has been affected by the urban heat-island effect, although the causes are less clear than they are in Phoenix.
		Shepherd used satellite images from the Landsat satellite and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite to determine expansion characteristics.
		Cities in arid areas or desert cities have shown great growth only in the last 30-50 years because of new methods of irrigation and ways to obtain water for daily use.

		They would essentially reduce congestion in the city, under the assumption that those living in such areas would be working in the industrial units closer to them and would not be required to travel from and to the city.
		The lesson for any future satellite town is to have a mass rapid transit system to the mother city and have a strong local body with technical skills to manage and maintain the infrastructure, something that had been underscored over the decades.
		Satellite towns would go a long way in addressing the growing aspirations of middle-class households to buy a house/apartment, something difficult for them to do in the city considering the rising realty prices.

		An important part of that context is the dramatic population shift in the satellite cities, where a significant degree of white flight apparently occurred in the 1990s, Stuart said.
		In the satellite cities, whites who departed either moved to another community or shifted to blocks where whites already had been disproportionately represented.
		Stuart said that the growth of nonwhite residents in the satellite cities does not appear to be driven by cheaper housing costs outside the capital.

		Another variation on Garden City often advocated by planners is the concept of satellite cities, which consist of a number of Garden Cities, each different from the other in some way, located around a larger central city.

	Top Story - NASA SATELLITE CONFIRMS URBAN HEAT ISLANDS INCREASE RAINFALL AROUND CITIES - June 18, 2002
		It is suspected that converging air due to city surfaces of varying heights, like buildings, also promotes rising air needed to produce clouds and rainfall.
		Although useful, many of these studies were limited to specific cities that had access to relevant data from special observation networks or computer model simulations.
		But satellites broaden the scope of such research by monitoring changes in rainfall patterns over urban areas on global scales over long periods of time.

		Though the meteorologist and climate scientist noticed the thundershowers that frequently capped off a summer day in the Washington-Baltimore region, he wasn’t aware that the cities might be influencing the rain until he noticed heavy rainfall around cities in satellite data.
		The confluence of cities and storms may not be a coincidence: more rain falls downwind of some major urban areas than in the surrounding countryside.
		As he surveyed the satellite data, he was looking for things like rainfall patterns created when a sea breeze interacts with coastal topography, but the pattern he saw emerging from the data of the southern United States surprised him.

		Satellites really could be used to spot ancient archaeological treasures buried underground, two researchers in Israel have shown.
		Using declassified satellite photographs taken decades ago, Ur found what he believes is evidence of branches in the canals that indicate extensive agricultural irrigation in the lands north of Nineveh that scholars had thought dependent on rainfall for their annual production.
		Satellite photographs can be powerful tools for archaeologists in detecting broader patterns of settlement and networks that accompany ancient civilizations, such as roads and canals, Ur said.

		The cities are Brasilia, capital of Brazil, and New Delhi, capital of India.
		I will limit my discussion to this part of the city today with the consciousness that Brasilia stretches beyond these boundaries and that the satellite cities that have sprouted around its peripheries in the last 30 years, are a direct result of the master plan.
		Perhaps it is precisely the contrast between the anonymous international city sound of traffic and the cricket and cicada sounds specific to this place that characterizes acoustically what Brasilia still is: a pioneer venture, a master plan, modernist urban architecture with its claim for internationalism, cut into the Brazilian cerrado (bushland).
