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.Research & information: generalbicsscGeographybicsscLSTurban-rural gradientsub-Saharan regionAddis AbabaEthiopiacellular automataspatial layouttransportation infrastructureLUCCspatial patternsspatial differencesDMSP-OLSChinaIndialandscape patternindustrial rural arearural landscapelandscape ecologysouthern Jiangsuland use and coverland surface temperaturebuilt-up landagricultural landgradient analysisNuwara EliyaSri Lankaurban public spaceenvironmentcheck-in datasocial media platformpoint of interesturbanizationGISurban development zonesurban sustainabilityregression analysisGWRfragmentationnon-agricultural conversion of rural landurban green spaceRSEIremote sensingecological statusdynamic motoringPingtan Islandurban land expansionspatial patterndriving forcesPearl River Deltaurban agglomerationurban heat islandimpervious surface areabiophysical composition indexcoastal cityXiamensurface urban heat islandMODISland coverhabitat qualityspatiotemporal analysisYangtze River Delta Urban Agglomerationurban planningLULC changetransition matrixsystematic transitionBlantyre citylife quality index (LQI)Kandy cityAHPMCDMCOVID-19 pandemicenvironmental qualityPM10 concentrationResearch & information: generalGeographyMurayama Yujiedt1303463Simwanda MatamyoedtRanagalage ManjulaedtMurayama YujiothSimwanda MatamyoothRanagalage ManjulaothBOOK9910557577103321Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Urbanization Using GIS and Remote Sensing in Developing Countries3027076UNINA
