Urban land use of national economic sectors in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

Shiting Li's dataset covers land use for 97 and 42 national economic sectors across 11 cities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area from 2015 to 2022. The 2.2 GB dataset enables systematic examination of sectoral land use patterns and identification of high land-consuming and low-efficiency sectors. It was last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify high land-consuming economic sectors based on the sectoral land use patterns.
• Guide industrial restructuring and spatial planning based on empirical evidence of sectoral land use.
• Support ecological management strategies by integrating land use data with complementary indicators like carbon emissions.
• Inform resource–environment policy design by analyzing land use efficiency across sectors.

Strengths

• Covers 11 cities in a major economic region.
• Includes data for 97 and 42 national economic sectors.
• Provides an 8-year time series from 2015 to 2022.

Limitations
