In terms of both land and population, rapid urbanization has shaped and transformed the
internal structure of cities. Despite the increasing number of studies on these two …

Expansion of urban areas accompanied by decreasing population density results in
inefficient urban growth from a spatial-ecological perspective. This study examines …

Urbanization, a dominant global demographic trend, leads to various changes in
environments (eg, atmospheric CO2 increase, urban heat island). Cities experience global …

The spatial configuration and the dynamics of urban physical growth are important topics of
analysis in contemporary urban studies. This paper examined urban land expansion and …

Urbanization-induced phenological shifts may provide evidence on how vegetation will
respond to global warming. However, the effects of urbanization on vegetation phenology …

As both drivers and first responders, urban areas are rapidly increasing in importance of
sha** global climate change. The global imprint of urbanization on surface energy …

Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of global 3D urban expansion over time is
becoming increasingly crucial for achieving long-term development goals. In this study, we …

Governing the future growth of the world's megacities towards higher land use efficiency is
important for achieving global sustainability. We have computed statistics of the urban …

Megacities pose both challenges and opportunities for the transition towards sustainability,
