TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for analyzing the dynamics of urban spaces in six the largest cities in Poland which were surveyed in 2002-2016, based on an analysis of the trend and the intensity of changes concerning geolocation data.About:

Does the urban sprawl matter in Yangtze River Economic Belt, China? An integrated analysis with urban sprawl index and one scenario analysis model
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors measured the extent of urban sprawl from 1992 to 2015 based on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light data and an urban sprawling index (USI) at the administrative and river basin scales.

Conversion of agricultural and forest land to other purposes in the context of land protection: Evidence from Polish experience
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the impact of farmland and forest protection on spatial planning and highlighted the loss of agricultural and forest land resulting from conversion to other purposes, and the scale of the problem was identified and future land-use types were forecast based on the data developed by Statistics Poland (GUS).

Sustainable Transport: An Efficient Transportation Network—Case Study
TL;DR: Sustainable transport principles and guides that can lead cities towards a more efficient transportation network are described and guidance for Vilnius is shown, so it could be possible to develop a sustainable traffic network in the city.

Urbanization in Small Cities and Their Significant Implications on Landscape Structures: The Case in Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used time-series Landsat images from 1987 to 2019 with an integrated method, landscape metrics, and built-up density analysis to characterize and compare the dynamics of landscape structures, urban expansion patterns, process, and overall growth status in the towns.

Statistical Road-Traffic Noise Mapping Based on Elementary Urban Forms in Two Cities of South Korea
TL;DR: In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) and an ordinary least squares (OLS) model were developed by utilizing data on urban form indicators, based on a 3D urban model and road-traffic noise levels from a normal noise map of city A (Gwangju).

Global forecasts of urban expansion to 2030 and direct impacts on biodiversity and carbon pools
TL;DR: S spatially explicit probabilistic forecasts of global urban land-cover change are developed and the direct impacts on biodiversity hotspots and tropical carbon biomass are explored to minimize global biodiversity and vegetation carbon losses.
Global Forecasts of Urban Expansion to 2030 and Direct Impacts on Biodiversity and Carbon Pools
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop spatially explicit probabilistic forecasts of global urban land-cover change and explore the direct impacts on biodiversity hotspots and tropical carbon biomass, showing that urban land cover change threatens biodiversity and affects ecosystem productivity through loss of habitat, biomass, and carbon storage.

Is Los Angeles-Style Sprawl Desirable?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the literature on characteristics, causes, and costs of alternative development patterns and debunks arguments by Gordon and Richardson in favor of Los Angeles-style sprawl.

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.

Society: Realizing China's urban dream
Xuemei Bai,Peijun Shi,Yansui Liu +2 more
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors argue that local implementation and public scrutiny will make or break the government's urbanization strategy, and propose a public-private approach to improve urbanization.
