A model-based spatio-temporal classification of global urban expansion  – ECTQG 2023

Dr Jingyan Yu, – postdoctoral researcher and member of Citadyne – presented the first results of her research “A model-based spatio-temporal classification of global urban” at the European Colloquium of Theoretical and Quantitative Geography 2023 (ECTQG, 2023).  She has developed static and dynamic measures to simulate urban expansion in Functional Urban Areas (FUA) around the world. She has found a global trend of physical spatial dispersion, producing discontinuous, dispersed built-up areas.
