                         were used in this study for demographic estimations and for 
                         monitoring of urban growth. Two sets of urban test sites, one with 
                         35 cities and one with 70 cities were selected in the State of Sao 
                         Paulo. A high degree of colinearity (0.96)was found between urban 
                         areal measurements taken from aerial photographs and LANDSAT 
                         (MSS)imagery. High coefficients were observed when census data was 
                         regressed against aerial information (0.95)and LANDSAT data 
                         (0.92). The validity of population estimations was tested by 
                         regressing three urban variables, against three classes of cities. 
                         The results supported the effectiveness of LANDSAT to estimate 
                         large city populations with diminishing effectiveness as urban 
                         areas decrease in size. The IMAGE-100 system computed urban growth 
                         between October, 1972 and June, 1976. Residential and industrial 
                         sectors in Sao Jose dos Campos showed growth along the Sao Paulo 
                         to Rio de Janeiro urban {"}corridor{"}. Further research will 
                         refine the LANDSAT system's precision to anlyse and predict urban 
                         growth in the State of Sao Paulo, although the methodology should 
                         be of use to any other region, with adequate adaptation.",
