Mapping global urban boundaries from the global artificial impervious area (GAIA) data
Urban boundaries, an essential property of cities, are widely used in many urban studies.
However, extracting urban boundaries from satellite images is still a great challenge …

A century of sprawl in the United States
C Barrington-Leigh… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
The urban street network is one of the most permanent features of cities. Once laid down, the
pattern of streets determines urban form and the level of sprawl for decades to come. We …

An emerging GHG estimation approach can help cities achieve their climate and sustainability goals
A credible assessment of a city's greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies requires a valid
account of a city's emissions. However, questions persist as to whether cities''self-reported …
