Urbanization impact on landscape patterns in Beijing City, China: A spatial heterogeneity perspective
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper characterized the landscape patterns in Beijing City, China during 2000 and 2010 using four landscape metrics, i.e., patch density (PD), edge density (ED), Shannon diversity index (SHDI), and the aggregation index (AI).

Urban expansion in 30 megacities of China: categorizing the driving force profiles to inform the urbanization policy
Heyuan You,Xuefeng Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodological framework based on data mining techniques for exploring the determinants of urban expansion is presented, where the relative importance of determinants varies with cities but shows some similarities.

Modeling population density based on nighttime light images and land use data in China
Minghong Tan,Xiubin Li,Shiji Li,Liangjie Xin,Xue Wang,Qian Li,Wei Li,Yuanyuan Li,Wenli Xiang +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors carried out spatial matching on the population of each county, respectively, and established population density diagrams of China for 2000 and 2010, which had a spatial resolution of 1.5×1.5 km.

Analyzing spatial patterns, driving forces and predicting future growth scenarios for supporting sustainable urban growth: Evidence from Tabriz metropolitan area, Iran
TL;DR: In this article, the SLEUTH model was used to analyze urban growth patterns and predict future growth in Tabriz metropolitan area (TMA) and the results showed that the edge growth pattern was dominant over the entire region while the dispersed growth pattern appears to be greater in some sub-regions.

Identifying the relationship between urban land expansion and human activities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the relationship between urban land expansion and the scope of human activities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (the YREB) of China during the period of 1995-2015 based on Landsat and nighttime light remote sensing data.

A Meta-Analysis of Global Urban Land Expansion
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 326 studies that have used remotely sensed images to map urban land conversion suggests that contemporary urban expansion is related to a variety of factors difficult to observe comprehensively at the global level, including international capital flows, the informal economy, land use policy, and generalized transport costs.

Wrestling sprawl to the ground - Defining and measuring an elusive concept
George Galster,Royce Hanson,Michael R. Ratcliffe,Harold Wolman,Stephen Coleman,Jason Freihage +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual definition of sprawl based on eight distinct dimensions of land use patterns: density, continuity, concentration, clustering, centrality, nuclearity mixed uses, and proximity.

The dimensions of global urban expansion: estimates and projections for all countries, 2000–2050
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors created a new dataset comprising all 3646 named metropolitan agglomerations and cities that had populations in excess of 100,000 in the year 2000, their populations in that year, and their built-up area identified in the Mod500 map, currently the best of eight satellite-based global maps of urban land cover.

Land use and land cover change in Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh: Using remote sensing to promote sustainable urbanization
Ashraf Dewan,Yasushi Yamaguchi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated land use/cover changes and urban expansion in Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh, between 1975 and 2003 using satellite images and socio-economic data and found that substantial growth of built-up areas in greater Dhaka over the study period resulted significant decrease in the area of water bodies, cultivated land, vegetation and wetlands.

Christopher D. Elvidge,Daniel Ziskin,Kimberly E. Baugh,Benjamin T. Tuttle,Tilottama Ghosh,Dee W. Pack,Edward H. Erwin,Mikhail Zhizhin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used low light imaging data acquired by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) from 1994 through 2008 to estimate national and global gas flaring.
