Abstract

New challenges due to changing climatic and environmental conditions, economic and demographic polarization and new energy concepts require smart tools for decision makers and regional and urban planners especially in the context of growing cities. Urban growth models can be valuable tools in order to define future policy alternatives or to analyze environmental impacts of urban growth. This paper provides a concise introduction into the challenges emerging from urban sprawl and introduces methods and technologies that enable a deeper understanding of the processes of urban sprawl. It is focused specifically on European urban areas and demonstrates how empirical research and remote sensing can contribute to the development of improved urban growth models. An example application is presented in order to provide a summary of current research activities in the field of integrated urban modeling.
