Quantifying the degree-of-freedom, degree-of-sprawl, and degree-of-goodness of urban growth from remote sensing data
TLDR
In this paper, three temporal satellite images of 15 years interval (1975, 1990 and 2005) have been classified to determine the urban extent and growth of Kolkata-Howrah (West Bengal, India) in eight different directions within a circular region.About:

Analysis of Urban Growth and Sprawl from Remote Sensing Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive discussion on urban growth and sprawl, and how they can be analyzed using remote sensing imageries; their patterns, process, causes, consequences, and countermeasures; and what are the merits and demerits of available methods and models.

Forty years of urban expansion in Beijing: What is the relative importance of physical, socioeconomic, and neighborhood factors?
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of physical, socioeconomic, and neighborhood factors on urban expansion and their temporal dynamics using binary logistic regression, and the relative importance of the three types of driving factors was examined using variance partitioning.

Multi-Agent Systems for the Simulation of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of multi-agent system models of land-use/cover change (MAS/LUCC) is presented, which combine a cellular landscape model with agent-based representations of decisionmaking, integrating the two components through specification of interdependencies and feedbacks between agents and their environment.
