#NighttimeLight indicates that a significant portion of #Bangladesh has lightened up between 2012 & 2022 - urban areas have been expanded, & new ports, roads, bridges, power plants, & industrial zones have been created. Country's GDP per capita has grown from $879 to $2,688.
Nighttime light can reveal an area's development level along with many other details, such as urbanization, transportation, industrialisation, etc. A comparison of two nighttime light images of Bangladesh indicates that a significant portion of the country has lightened up between 2012 and 2022 - urban areas have been expanded in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Sylhet and other areas, and new ports, roads, bridges, power plants, and industrial zones have been created. As per World Bank Data, Bangladesh's GDP per capita (current US$) has grown from $879 to $2,688 between 2012 and 2022. The map has been created in ArcGIS Pro using the annual global VIIRS nighttime lights compiled by Earth Observation Group. #Bangladesh #Development #Infrastructure #GDP #NighttimeLights #arcgispro
