While not perfect, population density (the number of residents per square mile) tends to be a more accurate indicator of whether an area has the qualities we think of as either urban or suburban. Think about a block of high-rise apartment buildings versus a cul-de-sacs with a handful of ...
which means that our WUI estimates are conservative. Similarly, we defined pixels with an average building density greater than 15% in a 500 m radius as having an urban character. These areas, for example, densely vegetated and high-density suburban environments, could not be classified as in...

Population density is often used as a definition of urban areas, although population density often varies substantially from an urban core to the suburbs and exurbs of a city. In most metropolitan regions, suburban and exurban land-uses cover the majority of the land area. However, the ...
surface to shorten the walk time. This has in general been an argument used by pro-tram, anti-subway advocates in Germany, but on routes that rely on multiple transfers, potentially three-legged trips, it is a stronger argument than on a radial line from asuburban housing projectto city ...
SoC’s definition and influencing factors SoC is the subject of a significant amount of research. “An acknowledged interdependence with others, a willingness to maintain this interdependence by giving to or doing for others what one expects from them,” is how Sarason (1974) first conceptualized ...
The proportion of jobs not in the inner 4km or a suburban employment cluster increased between 2011 and 2016 in all cities except Sydney (although the shift was very small in Melbourne). Here’s a summary of private transport mode shares for the clusters, versus the inner city versus everywh...
(Fig.2e). We then define the terms ∂Ru/∂SWC and ∂Ru/∂Tsoilto represent the change of Ruinduced by the change of soil water content, and the change of Ruby the change of soil temperature, respectively. By definition, both terms are positive throughout the range of the ...
Understanding the WUI is important because it is where wildfires have the greatest potential impact on people. The population of the United States is shifting. Over the past several decades, urban centers have become less densely populated as more people have moved to suburban and rural areas. Th...
“any extension of the suburban margin, the spread of development onto sensitive greenfields and agricultural soils, increases in highway congestion, the proliferation of new subdivisions of homogeneous and low density, single-family housing.” A “suburban development” that is...
