The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...

Based on the accou...

According to the standard model of urban traffic congestion and urban spatial structure, congestion tolling results in a more concentrated city. In recent years, a new model of rush hour urban auto congestion has been developed which incorporates trip-timing decisions — the bottleneck model. In the simplest bottleneck model, optimal congestion tolling without toll revenue redistribution has no ...

Decentralization and polycentric spatial structure strategies are important ways to alleviate urban disease in China. However, whether the urban spatial structure is meeting expectations is still unknown. Taking the Beijing Metropolitan Area as a case, the author adopted a non-parametric method to identify the subcenters, then an employment density model was used to analyze the spatial changes ...

Urban modeling is an important tool for efficient policy designing. We herein present a methodological framework for urban modeling which attempts to access the multi-level urban growth dynamics and express them in linguistic terms. The suggested framework incorporates a set of fuzzy systems, each one of which focuses on different aspects of the urban growth dynamics, while the systems’ structu...

The spatial distribution of households and firms, or urban spatial structure, is a core element of the study of urban economics and the crucial determinant of commuting patterns. This paper examines developments in the analysis of urban spatial structure and commuting that are related to the urban labour market that is the analysis of labour supply and labour demand in a spatial context. These ...

This paper analyzes urban growth boundary delimitation in the urban master plan in Shaanxi Province and chooses Baoji, Weinan and Ankang as the research object. The three cities have delimited urban growth boundaries. This paper compares interrelationships between urban spatial structure, urban size, delimitation of the four areas, boundaries of planning area, natural boundaries, artificial bou...
