The two major drivers of urban development. (IMAGE)
Caption
The two major drivers of urban development, measured in this paper, are: 1) expansion (panel a to b), or the aerial growth of developed land, and 2) structure density (panel f to g), or the addition of more or bigger structures to already developed areas. An example of high expansion within SLR zones [30] is in Fort Meyers, FL where developed land rapidly expanded after 1950 (panels c-e). Los Angeles, CA is an example of high growth of structure density within SLR zones, particularly after 1950 (panels h-j).
