Abstract

The growth of cities represents huge problems for modern societies. The explanation of the phenomena involves the description true 3D space as well as changes over time. However, there is a general lack of true 4D data. The current paper describes how to combine generally available spatial databases and administrative registers to create a quasi- 4D database for the built environment. Although this 4D database might seem simple, it is used widely in urban planning and environmental monitoring and modelling.
