Understanding urban expansion across primary and secondary cities in Ghana
The sprawl to infill ratio in secondary cities was higher than in primary cities. • Multiple factors influence sprawl and infill expansion. • More diverse land allocation regimes influence the faster expansion of secondary cities. • Urban expansion in cities reflects the aims and rationalities of the powerful stakeholders
Spatio-temporal dynamics of tree cover change in semi-arid Ghana
Trees provide vital ecosystem services, yet anthropogenic activities have continued to reduce tree cover (TC) globally, leading to disparities in the distribution of ecosystem services at various scales. Similarly, empirical analysis of indicators that measure variations in TC at various temporal and spatial scales is limited in the semi-arid regions where global environmental challenges such as climate change are already affecting TC distributio…
Smaller cities have large impacts on West Africa's expanding urban system
Developed areas more than doubled from 2001 – 2020 in four West African countries. • Most of the expansion was sprawl, with increasing trends across all countries. • Smaller cities expanded more rapidly than larger cities and had more sprawl. • The effects of large city gravity index on urban expansion differed by country. Urban expansion studies are often biased toward large cities with populations greater than 1 million, while small and medium …
Understanding urban growth modeling in Africa
Africa has been a hotspot of rapid urban growth since 2000, yet no review exists that describes the current state of urban growth modeling. This review aims to fill this gap by synthesizing urban growth modeling approaches, input variables and challenges across Africa. Using Web of Science, Google Scholar, Geobase, and Compendex databases, we selected 49 studies that projected urban land use and cover change or modeled probabilities of future urb…
