Abstract
ABSTRACT Assessment of urban growth dynamics is crucial for studying urban areas. Urban regions are defined by their growth dynamics and trends. Spatial metrics can greatly benefit the analysis of these dynamics. The study focuses on eight Indian metropolitan cities and uses urban built-up layers extracted from Global Human Settlement Layer. Spatial metrics were applied to assess pattern, compactness, speed, and entropy of growth. The study employed a cutting-edge methodology to derive a detailed comparison of the growth dynamics, automated with Python and Google Earth Engine. Spatial metrics provide a comprehensive understanding of urban growth dynamics, as demonstrated in this study.
