摘要

Rapid urban expansion and rising housing prices have created significant social and economic challenges in many cities, exposing the limitations of traditional, resource-intensive data collection methods for urban planning. Remote sensing technologies, such as satellite imagery, offer a cost-effective alternative for data collection. Incorporating street view imagery can enhance the quality of collected information by providing a human perspective on the urban environment, often inaccessible through standard remote sensing methods. This research aimed to develop a deep learning classification model using a multi-modal fusion of satellite and street view imagery to predict urban metrics of housing price, housing density, and green area coverage. Focusing on Lisbon, a European city facing rising housing prices, this research used EfficientNetB0, a pre-trained model originally used for object recognition on the ImageNet dataset, which successfully generalized its learning to interpret urban imagery. The findings highlight the potential of integrating pre-trained models within deep learning frameworks for urban analysis. This approach leverages low-cost, readily available data, providing a scalable alternative to traditional methods and a foundation for developing predictive tools for urban metrics.
