Analysis has been developed by K. C. Seto, M. Fragkias, B. Güneralp, M. K. Reilly. The study represents the first estimate of how urban areas are growing globally and how they can grow in the future. Results show considerable variation in the rates of urban expansion over the study period, with the highest rates in China followed closely by Southwest Asia. Average rates of urban expansion are lowest for Europe, North America, and Oceania.
