Urban Terrain Zone Characteristics

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to support the data requirements of today's MOUT planners and scientists engaged in weapons development and combat development studies. Thirteen representative cities were selected from four major regions: Europe, Mediterranean-Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. The cities were selected for location and importance, and as good cross representation of other cities. Their terrain zones were measured, mapped, and analyzed for spatial phenomena, as well as types, heights, and construction of buildings.
