Data record for the article: An Assessment of Urbanization Sustainability in China between 1990 and 2015 Using Land Use Efficiency Indicators

This
data record provides details of the data supporting the claims of the related article:
“An Assessment of Urbanization
Sustainability in China between 1990 and 2015 Using Land Use Efficiency
Indicators”.

The
related study aimed to integrate Earth observation and census data to estimate
the relationship between land, population and economic domains of urbanization
in 433 cities over 25 years using land use efficiency indicators. This dataset
includes original information on the ratio of land consumption rate to
population growth rate (LCRPGR) and ratio of economic growth rate to land
consumption rate (EGRLCR) of georeferenced sample cities with multiple
attributes, accuracy assessment for urban impervious surface products, land
occupied by construction in Mainland China since 2000.

Data
access

The supporting
data files are openly available as part of this figshare metadata record.

Data
files

The LCRPGR and EGRLCR data are each available in the
following formats: .cpg, .dbf, .prj, .sbn, .sbx, .shp, .shx

Accuracy assessment
data; Sample city averages for EGR, LCR, EGRLCR, PGR and LCRPGR; Land
occupancy; and EGRLCR/ LCRPGR classification data are all available in Excel
format.
