Dynamics of Changes in Spatial Patterns of Built-Up Areas in Two Metropolitan Areas of Grand Lomé and Greater Accra (West Africa)

Urban Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 84 - 84

Published: March 16, 2025

Urbanization and population growth in West Africa have significantly altered land use cover (LULC), raising environmental concerns. This study examines urban patterns the District Autonome du Grand Lomé (DAGL) Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) from 1986 to 2023 1991 2023, respectively, using geospatial techniques Google Earth Engine (GEE). Previous research has overlooked complexity of directional analysis expansion, which are vital for understanding urbanization drivers. addresses these gaps by comparing two metropolitan areas, revealing a dramatic decline verdant landscapes, with forested areas DAGL decreasing 24% 3% 34% 2% GAMA. Grasslands also diminished significantly, while built-up expanded 18% 62% 10% 70% The Urban Expansion Intensity Index (UEII) indicates rapid growth, at 1.19% GAMA 1.88%. Directional analyses reveal that expansion predominantly occurs toward northwest both northeast GAMA, highlighting need effective planning management preserve natural landscapes amidst ongoing challenges.

Constructing a Future Green Space Ecological Network Based on Multi-Scenario Urban Expansion: A Case Study of Chengdu, Sichuan, China

Forests, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(10), P. 1818 - 1818

Published: Oct. 17, 2024

As urban spaces expand, changes in land use significantly affect the structure and function of ecosystems, particularly with challenges such as green space reduction uneven distribution. This study focused on central area Chengdu, China, simulating forecasting various development scenarios for 2035, including cultivated protection (CP), economic (ED), ecological priority (EP), natural (ND). The construction networks followed a systematic process, incorporating key methods source identification, landscape resistance surface construction, corridor extraction. connectivity these was assessed using syntax. results indicated that: (1) Construction expanded across all scenarios, ED scenario having largest area, while EP resulted significant increase space. (2) Ecological corridors were established under every scenario, featuring most extensive well-connected network, linking patches surrounding areas. (3) scenario’s network displayed integration, choice, connectivity, depth values that indicate complete stable structure. provides comprehensive analysis different strategies, offering valuable insights optimizing planning management.
