Multi-scenario modelling of urban spatial growth under water resources and aquatic ecological environmental constraints by Ran Xu, Lu Liu, Yaliang Liu, Xin Yi, Hui Qiu

“…Although existing studies have examined the role of environmental factors in urban expansion, current research on urban spatial expansion still primarily focuses on the characteristics and drivers of land use change, with relatively less attention paid to how water resources and aquatic ecological environmental constraints influence on the pattern and sustainability of urban expansion. To address this gap, we developed a novel urban spatial growth model that synergistically considers water resources, the environment, population growth, economic development, and land use. …”
