Urban Land Use in 2030 and 2060 for the Yangtze River Delta Under SSP-RCP Scenarios

91.7 MB of geospatial data modeling future urban land use in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration. The dataset was created by Shisay Song using an EnKF-enhanced Cellular Automata model under localized Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and Representative Concentration Pathways scenarios. It was last updated on May 27, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Projecting urban expansion patterns based on SSP-RCP climate and socioeconomic scenarios.
• Calibrating or validating land-use change models based on the described EnKF-enhanced CA methodology.
• Analyzing regional development pressure in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration based on future land-use maps.

Strengths

• Data is modeled for two future time points (2030 and 2060), providing a multi-decadal perspective.
• The 91.7 MB file size suggests a detailed spatial resolution for the study region.
• Uses a specific, advanced modeling technique (EnKF-enhanced CA) as described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks.
• The model outputs are projections, not observed data, and depend on the underlying scenario assumptions.
