In this context, the scarcity of spatial data has been an obstacle to studying urbanization quantitatively, especially in Asian and African cities. The use of remote sensing data and geographical information systems (GIS) techniques can overcome the above limitations. Data on land use and land cover, land surface temperature, population density, and energy consumption can be extracted based on remote sensing at various spatial and temporal resolutions. GIS techniques can be used to analyze urbanization patterns and predict future patterns. Thus, the link between urbanization and sustainable urban development has increasingly become a principal issue in designing and developing sustainable cities at the local, regional, and global levels. This volume shows the spatiotemporal analysis of urbanization using GIS and remote sensing in developing countries, with a special emphasis on future urban sustainability in Asia and Africa. Capturing the spatial-temporal variation of urbanization patterns will help introduce proper sustainable urban planning in developing countries, especially for Asian and African cities.GeographybicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscAddis Ababaagricultural landAHPbiophysical composition indexBlantyre citybuilt-up landcellular automatacheck-in dataChinacoastal cityCOVID-19 pandemicDMSP-OLSdriving forcesdynamic motoringecological statusenvironmentenvironmental qualityEthiopiafragmentationGISgradient analysisGWRhabitat qualityimpervious surface areaIndiaindustrial rural areaKandy cityland coverland surface temperatureland use and coverlandscape ecologylandscape patternlife quality index (LQI)LSTLUCCLULC changeMCDMMODISn/anon-agricultural conversion of rural landNuwara EliyaPearl River DeltaPingtan IslandPM10 concentrationpoint of interestregression analysisremote sensingRSEIrural landscapesocial media platformsouthern Jiangsuspatial differencesspatial layoutspatial patternspatial patternsspatiotemporal analysisSri Lankasub-Saharan regionsurface urban heat islandsystematic transitiontransition matrixtransportation infrastructureurban agglomerationurban development zonesurban green spaceurban heat islandurban land expansionurban planningurban public spaceurban sustainabilityurban-rural gradienturbanizationXiamenYangtze River Delta Urban AgglomerationGeographyResearch and information: generalMurayama Yujiedt1303463Simwanda MatamyoedtRanagalage ManjulaedtMurayama YujiothSimwanda MatamyoothRanagalage ManjulaothBOOK9910557577103321Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Urbanization Using GIS and Remote Sensing in Developing Countries3027076UNINA
