Importance of Remote Sensing and Land Change Modeling for Urbanization Studies

Remote sensing analysis and land change modeling provide valuable insights into urban land use/cover changes and growth processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This chapter briefly outlines the importance of remote sensing, and land change modeling for urbanization studies in selected countries in Africa and Asia. The methodological approaches discussed in this book showcase the potential of remote sensing and land change modeling analysis in order to improve understanding of urban growth in Africa and Asia. Given the complexity of urban growth processes globally, issues raised in this book will contribute to the improvement of future land use/cover change analysis and modeling, particularly in the developing country context. The geospatial analysis approach based on remote sensing and land change modeling provides a synoptic view of urbanization in Africa and Asia.
