“…In terms of accessibility, the adjoining areas of the western and southwestern parts of this city are much more suitable to settle down in due to the proximity of National Highway 34 and Malda Town railway station. It acts as the driving force to settle down in this region 39 , 75 , 103 . This has ultimately resulted in the conversion of wetland into residential and commercial use.…”

“…The dynamics of urban growth and peri-urban growth in this region was analyzed by Dutta and Das 75 and Shaw and Das 39 . From these findings, it can be concluded that driving factors like accessibility to public services, economic opportunity, political influence, and population growth, are the main driving forces behind the existing LULC transformation in this region.…”

The loss of peri-urban wetlands is a major side effect of urbanization in India in recent days. Timely and proper assessment of wetland area change is essential for the conservation of wetlands. This study follows the integrated way of the peri-urban wetland degradation assessment in the case of medium and small-size urban agglomerations with a special focus on Chatra Wetland. Analysis of land-use and land cover (LULC) maps of the past 28 years shows a decrease of 60% area of the wetland including marshy land. This has reduced the ecosystem services value by about 71.90% over the period 1991–2018. From this end, The Land Change Modeler of IDRISI TerrSet using the combination of MLPNN and Markov Chain has been used to predict the LULC map of this region. The scenario-based modeling following the LULC conversion and nine explanatory variables suggests the complete loss of this wetland by 2045. However, the authors have also tried to present a future LULC pattern of this region based on an environmental perspective. This proposed map suggests possible areas for built-up expansion on the western side of the city without significantly affecting the environment.

As a municipality and an important western strategic fulcrum of the "Belt and Road", Chongqing has a position that cannot be ignored. With the deepening of China's urbanization process and economic globalization, the state has established an international metropolis as the development planning goal of Chongqing. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure the urban competitiveness of Chongqing City in order to adapt to the new development requirements. Based on the analysis of the theoretical path of Chongqing's construction of an international metropolis, this paper draws on the reliable evaluation index system of urban competitiveness, using Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and Chengdu as comparative samples, using principal component analysis. Chongqing's current development level has been measured, and based on this, the development situation of Chongqing City is judged and proposed to build an international metropolis.

“…With the rapid development of urban agglomerations, more and more scholars pay attention to the phenomenon of urban agglomerations, and carry out theoretical and empirical research on the economic development of urban agglomerations. In the last decade, many studies focused on spatio-temporal patterns of urban agglomeration and its driving forces [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] categorized as bio-physical and human factors. Bio-physical factors are natural environmental processes, such as climate dynamics, topography, and geomorphologic processes [28,29].…”

Economic efficiency is the key issue of sustainable development in urban agglomerations. To date, more attention has been paid to the estimates of productivity gains from urban agglomerations. Differing from the previous studies, this paper focuses on the influencing factors and mechanisms of the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations, and check the effects of three different externalities (industrial specialization, industrial diversity and industrial competition) on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations. The selected samples are multiple urban agglomerations, and the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations includes single factor productivity and total factor productivity. China’s top 10 urban agglomerations are selected as the case study and their differences in economic efficiency are portrayed comparatively. Firstly, a theoretical analysis framework for three different externalities effect mechanisms on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations is incorporated. Secondly, economic efficiency measurement index system composes of labor productivity, capital productivity, land productivity and total factor productivity, and the impact of various factors on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations is tested. The results confirm some phenomena (MAR externality, Jacobs externality and Porter externality) discussed or mentioned in the literature and some new findings regarding the urban agglomerations, derive policy implications for improving economic efficiency and enhancing the sustainability of urban agglomerations, and suggest some potentials for improving the limitations of the research.
