Multiscenario Simulation and Prediction of Land Use in the Urban Agglomeration in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Considering Urban Expansion and Shrinkage

Abstract

Abstract Urban expansion and shrinkage are two sides of the same coin in the process of urbanization, jointly influencing the evolution of land use. However, the specific impacts of urban expansion and shrinkage on land-use evolution have not yet been ... Practical Applications With the continuous advancement of urbanization, both urban expansion and shrinkage phenomena are widely present, jointly affecting the process of land-use evolution. This study focuses on the urban agglomeration in the middle ...
