Urban growth prediction with parcel based 3D urban growth model (PURGOM). [PDF]
MethodsX, 2021 While cities grow horizontally over natural areas, they also grow vertically with high-rise construction in time. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is defined as the ratio of the amount of construction area on a parcel to the parcel area. FAR is one of the essential indicators for detecting and measuring 3D (three-dimensional) change. The amount and trends of

Urban growth and the emergent statistics of cities. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Growth, statistics, and scaling are shown to be interdependent facets of the same underlying statistical dynamics of cities. Urban theory models cities as spatial equilibria to derive their aggregate properties as functions of extensive variables, such ...

Journal of Urban Economics, 2019 Abstract Does a location’s growth benefit or suffer from being geographically close to large economic centers? Spatial proximity may lead to competition and hurt growth, but it may also improve market access and enhance growth. Using data on U.S. counties and metro areas for the period 1840–2017, we document this tradeoff between urban shadows and ...
