| Abstract: |
This study critically examines alternative measures of built-up area, including the two major data series currently available for the United States; presents a regression model of changes in built-up area; and makes long-term national projections of built-up area under alternative assumptions. For purposes of this article, the term \"urban\" will be used only in its more restrictive sense of \"census-defined urban territory\" and the term \"built-up area\" will be used to denote population concentration more generally. |
