Abstract

This study explores the integration of historical and modern urban mapping data, an expanded geodetic base, and demographic processes to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationships within urban landscapes. Analyzing data spanning from 1950 to 2040, we observe a consistent urban expansion, evolving population density, and shifting land use patterns. The inclusion of ten control points enhances the geodetic base, ensuring precise spatial referencing for urban analyses. Spatially referenced demographic processes data reveal correlations between urban characteristics and population dynamics, guiding targeted interventions for sustainable development. Findings underscore the significance of synergizing conventional and current approaches in urban planning, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies in response to evolving urban landscapes. Key limitations include potential data quality issues in historical mapping, necessitating ongoing efforts for accuracy enhancement. Future research should focus on refining historical data accuracy and exploring specific urban impacts on demographic dynamics.
