Abstract: The airborne synthetic aperture radar (AIRSAR) survey completed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the Greater Angkor Project in September 2000 shows that Angkor was the largest, low-density, dispersed urban complex of the pre-industrial world. The World Heritage site is both the location of the largest group of religious structures on the planet and the location of the most extensive urban complex prior to the late 19th-early 20th centuries AD. The entire complex is a single cultural entity that requires an integrated approach to its management, its conservation and its interpretation to the public.
