This book uses spatio-temporal analysis to understand urbanisation
in Indian cities and explain the concept and impact of global
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It creates a GHG footprint for
Indian cities and engages in a discussion about the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and smart city initiatives
within an Indian context. Understanding the spatial patterns of
land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics in the rapidly urbanising
cities of India, the readers will be able to simulate future
urbanisation patterns and use spatial temporal analysis as a tool
for implementing appropriate mitigation measures. Features Analyses
the complete urbanisation and urban sprawl of major cities in India
using advanced geospatial modelling techniques Highlights the best
practices and methods used in modelling urban growth Discusses
greenhouse gas emissions from various sectors and their effects in
local environments Addresses the increase of local temperature in
cities due to unplanned land use change and its impact on
environmental sustainability and resilience Fills the need for
data-driven governance and policy decisions by introducing various
analyses through spatial mapping Highlighting some of the best
practices and tools being used for modelling urban growth through
case studies, the book is useful to those interested in using new
technologies and methods for data collection and problem solving.
It focuses on the major environmental issues in India, which are
prevalent in most developing countries.
