Ă propos de ce livre
The mushrooming of illegal housing on the periphery of cities is one of the main consequences of rapid urbanisation associated with social and environmental problems in the developing countries. Sustainable Urbanism in Developing Countries discusses the linkage between urbanism and sustainability and how sustainable urbanism can be implemented to overcome the problems of housing and living conditions in urban areas. Through case studies from India, Indonesia, China, etc., using advanced GIS techniques, this book analyses several planning and design criteria to solve the physical, social, and economic problems of urbanisation and refers to urban planning as an effective measure to protect and promote the cultural characteristics of specific locations in these developing countries.

1.1 Introduction
The most widespread changes in the extent of land-use categories in the EU between 1990 and 2006 were cropland decline (âŒ136,660 km2), followed by expansion of grazing land (âŒ75,670 km2), and expansion of forest areas (âŒ70,630 km2). The least common conversion among broad land-use categories was urban expansion (âŒ16,820 km2). ⊠At the European scale, these area changes translate into moderate land-conversion rates in the agricultural sector between 1990 and 2006, ranging from â13.4% for permanent crops to +6.5% for meadows and pastures, while urban areas expanded by approximately 21%.(Kuemmerle et al. 2016)
