A multidimensional morphological diagnosis of urban sprawl in the context of Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary
Open AccessKriti Pradhan, Abbas Rajabifard et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2026
Urban sprawl remains an impediment to sustainable development, generating inefficient land-use, escalating infrastructure costs and environmental degradation. Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) are widely adopted to encourage compact growth, but their effectiveness depends not only on curbing outward expansion but also on the morphological qualities of development within the boundary. Existing evaluations often emphasise boundary compliance, overlook…
The ‘What If’ framework: A scenario-based counterfactual approach to modelling urban resilience and disaster impact
Open AccessRicardo Camacho, Jagannath Aryal et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026
Urban growth in hazard-prone regions is frequently shaped by informal settlement expansion. Yet, disaster impact assessments typically evaluate only observed post-event conditions and do not consider how urban development trajectories might have evolved in the absence of disruptive events. This study applies a counterfactual modelling approach (‘What-If’ framework) that integrates deep learning–based multi-temporal land-cover mapping with Cellula…
Thematic Fragmentation and Convergence in Urban Flood Simulation Research: A 45-Year Bibliometric Mapping
Open AccessAhmad Gamal, Mohammad Raditia Pradana et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025
Urban flooding presents a growing challenge amid rapid urbanization, climate variability, and fragmented governance. Although simulation and risk assessment tools have advanced considerably, their integration into urban planning remains limited. This study utilized a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 1293 articles from the Scopus database, selected through a PRISMA-guided workflow, to examine the temporal, structural, and conceptual evolutio…

How do disasters disrupt the spatial growth of informal settlements? A multi-temporal remote sensing approach – The case study of Mocoa, Colombia
Open AccessRicardo Camacho, Jagannath Aryal et al.ARTICLEHabitat International2025Cited by: 4References: 36
Informal settlements are a growing phenomenon, particularly in the Global South, where disaster risk is also high. This research investigates how disasters can disrupt the growth patterns of multiple informal settlements within a city, focusing on the 2017 Mocoa disaster in Colombia. We propose a novel spatiotemporal framework combining data and models such as historical aerial photographs, RapidEye, PlanetScope multi-temporal images, and deep le…
Disaster-induced disruption of policies for informal urban settlements
Open AccessRicardo Camacho, Jagannath Aryal et al.ARTICLECities2024Cited by: 1References: 24
The rapid growth of informal urban settlements (IUS) presents a significant challenge to cities worldwide, particularly regarding disaster vulnerability. Many of their inhabitants are also victims of disaster-induced displacements due to complete loss or government-led relocation programs. The disaster or land-use management policies do not usually tackle the associated vulnerabilities of these informal settlers. Therefore, this research investig…

Remote sensing of night‐time lights and electricity consumption: A systematic literature review and meta‐analysis
Open AccessDipendra Bhattarai, Arko Lucieer et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2023
Night‐time light (NTL) satellite imagery can provide unique insights into the energy sector. Nevertheless, there are limited studies that have systematically reviewed the literature on the relationship between electricity consumption and NTL. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a systematic review of studies that have explored this relationship. The review identified over 200 regression models estimating electricity consumption using NTL satell…
Quantitative contribution of the Grain for Green Program to vegetation greening and its spatiotemporal variation across the Chinese Loess Plateau
Open AccessYi Song, Yunqiang Wang et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2022
A distinct greening trend is evident in Asia, especially on the Loess Plateau (LP) of China, which is driven by climate change and large‐scale land‐use‐related ecological projects, especially the 'Grain for Green Program' (GFGP). However, the specific contributions of the GFGP to vegetation greening and the variation of this greening on a large spatiotemporal scale are not yet clear. We used long‐time‐series normalized difference vegetation index…
Comparison of changes in vegetation and land cover types between Shenzhen and Bangkok
Open AccessYi Song, Jagannath Aryal et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021
As important node cities in the Belt and Road region, Shenzhen and Bangkok are faced with similar environmental threats posed by the high‐speed social development process. Rapid urbanization leads to changes in vegetation growth and land cover types and then affects ecosystem services. In the current study, we used a time‐series normalized difference vegetation index dataset from 2000 to 2019 and two land cover type datasets from 2000 to 2018 to …
