“…Within this metropolitan region, Guangzhou is situated in the northeast and Foshan is located in the southwest ( Figure 1). As the third largest city of China, Guangzhou has a total area of 7434 km 2 and a population of 12.70 million [39]. Along with Guangzhou's rapid economic growth, its urban rail network has been progressively constructed since 1993.…”

“…How did the spatial and temporal pattern of urban built-up areas evolve along the GuangFo metro corridor at the regional level? (2) How did the landscape metrics change along the GuangFo metro transect, from the city centers to the city fringes? Could we use landscape gradient analysis to detect the urban expansion process along the GuangFo railway corridor?…”

Understanding the urban expansion process along inter-city rail transit corridors is critical to regional integration of city groups. Though numerous studies have considered the influences of rail transit on land use and urban form, most have focused on local station areas or intra-city urban structures. Few studies have examined the effects and dynamic process along inter-city rail transit corridors at a regional scale. In this study, multi-remote sensing images, landscape metrics and gradient analysis were combined to investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of urban expansion and regional structural changes along the GuangFo inter-city Metro in the Pearl River Delta, south China. We introduced Thiessen Polygon into quadrat zoning for landscape gradient analysis, and clearly revealed the spatial variations of landscape changes along the metro transect. The regional expansion stage and inter-city structural changes were further detected based on the theoretical framework of diffusion-coalescence growth. This study revealed that during its construction the GuangFo Metro significantly impacted urban expansion at the urban fringes. Before construction the urban patches became irregular and fragmented as the gradient moved from city centers to city fringes. Influenced by the GuangFo Metro, the urban patches expanded and consequently coalesced into a homogenous urbanized area, which indicated that coalescence was the dominant expansion stage and the regional structure become more aggregated. This suggested that the inter-city rail transit has played an important role in promoting the integration of the GuangFo metropolitan region.

Multi-Temporal satellite imagery for infrastructure growth assessment of Dubai City, UAE

Abstract.Throughout the past few decades, Dubai City has witnessed massive growth in its urban area and infrastructure facilities. The discovery of oil and gas in the Emirate significantly played a role for such a rapid growth. Given this fact and the short time-period for such an expansion, it is crucial to develop an understanding of the patterns of the development in the City, where policy-makers, researchers, and concerned authorities would gain better vision and strategy for the future. Recent advances in satellite imagery in terms of improved spatial and temporal resolutions are allowing for efficient identification of change patterns and the prediction of areas of growth. This study aims to quantify and analyse the spatialtemporal urbanization that took place in Dubai City throughout the past decades (specifically from early 1970's until 2015). Multi temporal satellite images with various geometric and radiometric resolutions will be utilized for this purpose. The suggested methodology consists of a sequence of image processing techniques that include supervised and unsupervised classification.Subsequently, the classified images were utilized to quantify the urbanization of the City. The results show that since 1970, the urbanization and population have been dramatically increasedby 5 and 12 times respectively.The resulting trend can be potentially usedto evaluate the consequences of massive urban development, such as City infrastructure, water, environmental and the social impact.
