Urban Growth Modeling and Future Scenario Projection Using Cellular Automata (CA) Models and the R Package Optimx

Cellular automata (CA) is a spatially explicit modeling tool that has been shown to be effective in simulating urban growth dynamics and in projecting future scenarios across scales. At the core of urban CA models are transition rules that define land transformation from non-urban to urban. Our obje...
