1 The Urban Book Series

2 Aims and Scope The Urban Book Series is a resource for urban studies and geography research worldwide. It provides a unique and innovative resource for the latest developments in the field, nurturing a comprehensive and encompassing publication venue for urban studies, urban geography, planning and regional development. The series publishes peer-reviewed volumes related to urbanization, sustainability, urban environments, sustainable urbanism, governance, globalization, urban and sustainable development, spatial and area studies, urban management, urban infrastructure, urban dynamics, green cities and urban landscapes. It also invites research which documents urbanization processes and urban dynamics on a national, regional and local level, welcoming case studies, as well as comparative and applied research. The series will appeal to urbanists, geographers, planners, engineers, architects, policy makers, and to all of those interested in a wide-ranging overview of contemporary urban studies and innovations in the field. It accepts monographs, edited volumes and textbooks. More information about this series at

5 Preface This book examines the urban growth trends and patterns of various metropolitan regions in Asia and Africa from a geographical perspective. State-of-the-art geospatial tools and techniques from the geographic information systems (GIS) and science, remote sensing, and machine learning disciplines were used for the land change analysis. In addition to the empirical results, the methodological approaches employed and discussed in this book showcase the potential of geospatial analysis (e.g., land change modeling) for improving our understanding of the trends and patterns of urban growth in Asia and Africa. Furthermore, given the complexity of the urban growth process across the world, issues raised in this book will contribute to the improvement of future geospatial analysis of urban growth in the developing regions. This book is written for researchers, academics, practitioners, and graduate students. The inclusion of the origin and brief history of each of the selected metropolitan regions, including the analysis of their urban primacy, spatiotemporal patterns of urban land use/cover changes, driving forces of urban development, and implications for future sustainable development, makes the book an important reference for various related studies. Most of the contributors to this book are affiliated with the Division of Spatial Information Science, University of Tsukuba, Japan. The division, which was established in 2000 to include geographical information science within the doctoral program in geoenvironmental sciences, provides an enabling research environment where faculty members, staff, and students work together to advance knowledge in GIS and remote sensing techniques in different areas of interest. Our sincere thanks go to the staff members of the Division of Spatial Information Science, University of Tsukuba, especially to Mr. Hao Hou, Mr. Hao Gong, Mr. Matamyo Simwanda, Mr. Shyamantha Subasinghe, and Mr. Xinmin Zhang. v
