“…1 ⃝ The methods mainly focus on the natural attributes of land features and cannot fully connect with urban land use types with obvious socio-economic attributes; 2 ⃝ the division scale is relatively imprecise and cannot be refined to accurately identify the function of lands; 3 ⃝ the acquisition of land use planning data are difficult and ineffective, so it cannot accurately reflect real-time land use functions.…”

“…(2) The area of space used for mixed functions has significantly increased, and the layout tends to be balanced. (3) In terms of daily life, there are fewer zoning units with residential functions as the sole function, and the residential functions are often integrated with other functional layouts. ( 4) From 2008 to 2022, the number of green spaces has been continuously increasing, and the number of green POIs in nonconstruction areas has increased (see Figure 5).…”

“…The identification of factors that influence the evolution and dynamics of regional spatial structure has become an effective means of understanding the laws of regional development. Studies have been conducted to measure the spatial structure of the region through commuting flows, employment density, population density, and land use function [3]. In particular, classifications of the urban land use function are of great importance for the spatial structure [4].…”

Against the backdrop of coordinated development and regional integration in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, China, the integration of Shenzhen and Dongguan has received increasing attention from both academia and the government. The cross-boundary area of the two cities has also shifted from being categorized as the development edge to becoming a key area, presenting more complex spatial and functional characteristics. This paper applies multi-source data to analyze the spatial characteristics and factors of influence in the Shenzhen–Dongguan cross-boundary region from the perspective of urban land use pattern evolution. The results showed that from 2008 to 2022, (1) the spatial structure presented a development trend from multi-core to axial, then to network, gradually breaking down the development barriers in the central region; (2) the function of regional land was transformed from a single type to a composite and mixed type, and the layout of commercial, public, green, and transportation land became more dispersed and balanced; (3) the cross-administrative boundaries of commercial land were exaggerated, and industrial land was widely transformed into composite industrial and commercial land, forming an integrated industrial belt; and (4) the overall increase in the mixing degree of land use functions indicated that the two regions were interconnected and integrated with each other, and the functional structure of the cross-boundary region was relatively more complete.

“…Accelerating rates of urbanization are occurring at the rural-urban interface in 'peri-urban' areas of metropolises in the Global South. As shown in several recent works this is one of the critical issues of the past decades which has a range of physical, social, economic and environmental consequences for these areas (Dadashpoor and Ahani, 2019;Dadashpoor and Ahani, 2021;Dadashpoor and Malekzadeh, 2022).…”

The Planning Challenges of Extended Metropolitan Areas: Issues From South Africa

Territorial administrative restructuring and the redrawing of municipal boundaries was undertaken in South Africa to address the apartheid legacy of major social, economic and spatial inequalities. A significant consequence of territorial administrative restructuring was that the boundaries of certain South African metropolitan areas were expanded such that they incorporate vast rural geographies. These spaces pose particular challenges for metropolitan planning. The aim in this paper is to examine the resultant planning challenges which confront South Africa’s extended metropolitan spaces. Among several consequences was the imperative for metropolitan authorities to build new competences in order to plan and manage these added rural spaces as well as the peri-urban spaces. The analysis is contextualised within an international literature on planning in extended metropolitan spaces and of peri-urban spaces.

“…In addition, climate change is likely to aggravate certain urban health problems, the severity of extreme weather events, water scarcity, and disturbing urban ecology (Heal et al, 2013;Khanal et al, 2021b;Vardoulakis et al, 2014). To cope with this challenge of high urbanization many cities around the world are already expanding their boundaries into their periphery (Ahani and Dadashpoor, 2021;Dadashpoor and Malekzadeh, 2021). For proper land use planning and developmental activities, detailed studies of geology, and engineering geology are the prerequisites for any territory.…”

Urbanization is rapidly growing throughout the world, especially in the least developed and developing countries necessitating proper land use planning. However, the lack of sufficient study has created the possibility of unprecedented geohazards. In this study, a detailed geological and engineering geological mapping along with the geotechnical analysis of soils and sediments from the Bhainsepati–Pharsidol area of Lalitpur District has been carried out. Detailed geological maps and geological cross-sections were prepared on the scale of 1:25,000 following the most adopted stratigraphy of central Nepal for both hard rocks and Quaternary deposits. Two mappable geological units like the Tistung Formation and the Chandragiri Limestone of the Phulchauki Group are found within the hard rock succession at the study area’s hill sections. Similarly, the Quaternary succession is mapped into the Lukundol Formation and the Chapagaon Terrace deposits of Kathmandu Valley sediments from older to younger succession respectively. There is a distinct erosional unconformity between the rocks of the Phulchauki Group and the Quaternary Valley sediments. A kinematic analysis of discontinuities developed in the rocks was carried out in the rock slopes found in the area. Both field and laboratory analyses of soil samples were carried out for the representative samples. The laboratory tests include moisture content, specific gravity, particle size distribution, soil consistency, compaction, and consolidation properties. Finally, an engineering geological map was prepared on the same scale as geological mapping showing the details of the distribution of geo-materials. This study is expected to be valuable to make proper land-use decisions for town planning and developmental activities in the rapidly growing city of Nepal.
