“…In addition, urban growth and urban development decision-making research has received more attention during the recent time slice about the thematic evolution analysis. Modeling urban growth in Atlanta using Logistic regression article published by Hu Z et al, 2007, [42] and Urban Growth Pattern Modeling: a case study of Wuhan City, PR China, published by Cheng J et al 2003 attracted the interest of most scientists, and they had the highest citations. [43] These articles originally introduced UGM to the international urban planning community.…”

“…From this, it was determined that despite the lack of temporal dynamics, logistic regression was spatially explicit, suited for multi-scale research, and, most crucially, allowed for a far better comprehension of the processes influencing the development and growth of the urban spatial pattern, [42] followed by 'Urban Growth Pattern Modeling: A Case Study of Wuhan City, PR China with 358 citations. [43] The later study proposed a Modelling of urban growth patterns. [44]…”

Speedy technological, social, political, demographic, and urban developments continued to change the scale of the cities worldwide. Therefore, it becomes essential to model urban growth to minimize future uncertainties. Therefore, it is critical to investigate how cities grow and how researchers investigate which factors influence city growth. Using bibliometric methods, this study intends to pinpoint the publishing patterns and expansion potential of Urban Growth Modelling (UGM) works, providing a better understanding and possible future research paths. All published articles on the 'Urban Growth model' from Scopus were identified and analyzed using the Bibliometric R-package and VOSviewer software. 218 publications were identified from 1983 to 2023, published in 103 journals, and 25 book chapters contributed by 557 authors, with a 2.7 collaboration Index and 2.56 authors per document. The high-frequency keywords used in recent years are urban growth, land use, remote sensing, urban planning, cellular automaton, urban development, modeling, urbanization, Geographic Information System (GIS), and land use change. Research papers published in Computers, Environment, and Urban Systems are the most cited, with 1047 total citations, h-index 13. The most active country was China, with a total of 38 documents. The most cited paper for UGM research is titled 'Modelling urban growth in Atlanta using logistic regression' , which received over 378 citations. The study's findings offer milestones, a starting point for important research productivity data, and an understanding of how UGM research has evolved. This will help to estimate and assess the rate of urbanization, its location, and the consequences of before and after development before it gets stranded in unsuitable and unsustainable pathways.

“…Physical changes include reorganisation of functions by converting non-urban to urban land uses. Functional changes involve modification of economic base activities within the area (Cheng et al, 2003). The change in land uses in developing countries is mostly influenced by population changes, modification of activities and outward urban expansion (Cheng et al, 2003).…”

“…The structure and growth of towns is affected by four factors which Cheng et al (2003) list as comprising time, conceptual systems, socioeconomic activities, and physical and ecological systems. Urban growth is a result of changes in three systems: the developed urban system, planned urban system and developable non-urban system (Cheng et al, 2003). The relationships among these elements are depicted in the urban growth triangle (Figure 2).…”

“…P is the spatial and conceptual system, which guides urban development, while U represents the socioeconomic activities which stimulate the growth of the town. Letters G and N represent physical and ecological systems, respectively, which include aspects relating to spatial growth and land availability (Cheng et al, 2003). In the diagram, N (developable non-urban systems), U (developed urban systems) and P (planned urban systems) all contribute to the growth of G (urban area); the double-headed arrows indicate the relationships between these variables that lead to urban growth.…”

Despite the fact that small urban centres accommodate the largest share of urban population, in most developing countries small urban centres are neglected by urban analysts. This means there is inadequate information on their growth characteristics and patterns of land use development. The overall aim of this study is to explore the growth, land use and socio-economic characteristics of small urban areas in developing countries, to inform policies and theory. The study used coding and SPSS techniques to analyse data from the in-depth study of a single case study area. Tools and methods for data collection included mapping, household surveys, document review, storytelling, in-depth interviews and observation in the field. The results indicate that the growth of interactions with other centres, the way people access and develop land, and rapid spontaneous growth of settlements are key factors affecting the emergence of different land use categories, while patterns of settlement growth also reflect the uneven provision of basic services. Theoretically, the study supports the propositions regarding land replacement and patterns of settlement development, while challenging assumptions about socio-economic segregation. The thesis contributes to knowledge on the evolution of settlements and their dynamics, changing settlement patterns, and land use reorganisation.
