Assessing the suitability of settlement delineations for monitoring infilling: A web- and GIS-based expert evaluation approach

ILS scientist Sebastian Eichhorn and other colleagues have published an article in the journal “Environment and Planning B”. The study investigates the suitability of different geospatial datasets and methods for delineating settlement areas and assessing infill housing, an aspect crucial for urban planning and development. Quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal notable variations in the classification of settlement areas and infilling across datasets, and underscore the need for a nuanced approach to conceptualising densification measurement, particularly in defining urban boundaries. https://doi.org/10.1177/23998083241308407.
