Satellite measurements, data-driven approaches and coordinated development policies are a must if we want to keep cities liveable - Paulinyi & Partners on the front page of the US based portal
We are honored to have been invited by the US-based portal Via Satellite for an interview with Dr. Gergely Paulinyi DLA, Chairman and CEO of Paulinyi & Partners, to discuss our collaboration with the European Space Agency, its practical applicability to keep cities good places to live, and the intersection of space researchand architecture.
Currently, we are engaged in a research project exploring the potential role of Earth observation data and satellites in shaping the built environment in order to combat the effects of warming temperatures. Our service, HeatScape Resolve, leverages satellite imagery to analyze the causes of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect at the building block level.
Our firm envisions this project as a stepping stone toward long-term cooperation with urban planners, offering a data-driven approach to designing cities that can better withstand the impacts of climate change. The space industry provides useful data for the development of technologies applied to the more traditional construction industry, which will help us to further modernise architecture and create future-proof buildings. In the coming period, one of the defining trends in the construction industry will be energy modernization, driven by the aging housing stock and climate change. Based on our in-house research, we are prepared for this challenge and are now ready to assist property portfolio managers, cities, and companies that own building stocks in making the transition. This project aligns well with our profile, as it creates a new, innovative solution for us.

Paulinyi & Partners Group collaborates with the European Space Agency (ESA) from December 2023, in the framework of the tender "Space for Green Construction". The research conducted by Hungarian experts focuses on the use of earth observation data obtained in space, to improve urban climate. The commercial development activity is performed under a programme of, and funded by, the European Space Agency and is carried out under the ARTES BASS programme. The views expressed in the answers can in no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the European Space Agency.
