Cities are increasing in size and number all over the planet especially in developing countries. The growth of mega cities and settlements can be visualised and analysed with the help of modern remote sensing methods and time series of various satellite systems.

The growth of mega cities and settlements can be visualised and analysed with the help of modern remote sensing methods and time series of various satellite systems. Bringing this global and cur-rent topic vividly into schools is the aim of one module chapter in the European remote sensing project called "Science Education through Earth Observation for High Schools" (SEOS). In this project are altogether 15 interactive learning modules in five areas being developed by eleven European partners. The Department of Geography at the University of Education Heidel-berg is developing two modules, one about the basic methodology of remote sensing and one module about using satellite images to monitor land use changes when the topic of urbanisation processes is presented. The aim of the second module is to build awareness of the consequences of land cover, land use change, and land consumption in example areas with the help of satellite images in different land-scape zones. An understanding for the local and global causes of land cover and land use change should be created through using satellite images and interactive learning modules. The focus of the presentation is the analysis of global urbanisation processes and the increase of million-and mega cities in five case study cities. The users should be able to evaluate the ecological and eco-nomical consequences of land cover and land use changes and should analyse the future of urban areas after having worked with the module.
