| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examined the urban growth trends and patterns of metropolitan regions in Asia and Africa from a geographical perspective. State-of-the- art geospatial tools and techniques from the geographic information systems and science, remote sensing, and machine learning disciplines were used for the land change analysis.
In addition to the empirical results, the methodological approaches employed and discussed in this research showcase the potential of geospatial analysis (e.g., land change modeling) for improving our understanding of the trends and patterns of urban Asia and Africa.Furthermore, given the complexity of the urban growth process across the world, issues raised in this research contributed to the improvement of future geospatial analysis of urban growth in the developing regions.
