Enhancing Land Use Efficiency Assessment Through Built-Up Area–Built-Up Volume Trajectories: Integrating Vertical Urban Growth in SDG 11.3.1 Monitoring. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 11.3.1, defined as the ratio of Land Consumption Rate (LCR) to Population Growth Rate (PGR) and collectively referred to as LCRPGR, is widely used to assess urban land use efficiency (LUE). However, its reliance on two-dimensional built-up area data limits its ability to capture vertical urban growth and spatial form. This study introduces a trajectory-based framework that integrates built-up area (BUA) and built-up volume (BUV) to enhance LUE assessments. By representing urban growth as a tr…

Vancouver is a major city in Western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2021 Canadian census recorded 662,248 people in the city, up from 631,486 in 2016. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2.6 million in 2021, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada after Toronto and Montreal. The region, together with the Fraser Valley, makes up the Lower Mainland, which has a total population of over 3 million. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,700 inhabitants per square kilometre (15,000/sq mi), and the fourth highest in North America (after New York City, San Franc…

The natural history of Earth concerns the development of planet Earth from its formation to the present day. Nearly all branches of natural science have contributed to the understanding of the main events of Earth's past, characterized by constant geological change and biological evolution. The geological time scale (GTS), as defined by international convention, depicts the large spans of time from the beginning of Earth to the present, and its divisions chronicle some definitive events of Earth history. Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago, approximately one-third the age of the universe, by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphe…

Canada is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, making it the second-largest country by total area, with the longest coastline of any country. Its border with the United States is the longest international land border. The country is characterized by a wide range of both meteorologic and geological regions. With a population of over 41 million, it has widely varying population densities, with the majority residing in its urban areas and large areas being sparsely populated. Its capital is Ottawa and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.…
