Urban Futures Reimagined: Advanced Ecological-Economic Frameworks for Sustainable Growth

Abstract

The monograph explores the multifaceted phenomenon of urbanization, examining its theoretical foundations, measurement methodologies, and extended analytical models. The study begins by defining urbanization in the context of settlements, communities, and cities, analyzing its characteristics, dynamics, and sustainable development frameworks. It then delves into data collection techniques and methodological approaches for quantifying urbanization through spatial, economic, and ecological indicators. Finally, the research presents advanced models for understanding urbanization as both a state and a process, incorporating economic representations and future research directions. By integrating theoretical and empirical insights, this monograph provides a comprehensive perspective on urbanization, contributing to both academic discourse and practical urban policy development.
