Abstract

Chapter 3 investigates the spatial-temporal impacts of China’s HSR on urban growth and land use change using remote sensing data and geographical information systems, with a focus on the areas near three HSR stations along the Beijing-Shanghai passenger dedicated line (BSPDL). The spatial variations of the impacts of HSR on urban growth are captured by comparing land use changes using satellite images of three different cities: Beijing, Jinan and Bengbu. The temporal variations of urban growth are evaluated through a comparative analysis based on digitalized Landsat TM/TIRS images of 2005, 2010 and 2016. The research findings suggest that the development of HSR plays a more significant role in facilitating urban expansion in medium and small cities than in large cities. In terms of temporal variations, urban growth is found to be much stronger before and during the development of HSR than after system deployment.
