Rates, Trends, Causes, and Consequences of Urban Land-Use Change in the United States
There is little doubt that urban areas will continue to change and grow in size. Population growth, a driver of many of the changes, is not likely to cease or decrease in the near future. Associated with increasing population is an increase in the amount of land dedicated to urban uses. The fashion in which the land is to be used, including density and intensity of development, is yet to be determined. However, analyzing the dynamic land-use changes that have occurred up to the present time will lead to a better understanding of the impacts that can be anticipated from future urbanization.
