| description | Megacities play important roles in countries' politics, economy, culture, etc. Exploring the law of urban expansion of megacities has important reference for sustainable urbanization. Here, the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban expansion were quantified analyzed in 21 Chinese megacities from 2000 to 2020 with quantitative measurement indicators and explored the human–land synergistic relationship used the decoupling model. Results are as follows: (1) China's megacities experienced significant expansion, and urban expansion characterized as rapid initially but slowed down thereafter. (2) Urban expansion in megacities was characterized as having significant spatial differences, and rapidly expanding megacity centers moved from eastern to midwestern China. (3) Urban spatial expansion of megacities was mainly an enclave type in 2000–2010 and marginal type in 2010–2020. (4) The main type of human–land synergistic relationship in megacities were weak decoupling, there is a significant increase in expansive coupling and expansive negative decoupling in 2010–2020; (5) Lastly, human–land synergy relationship in most megacities was uncoordinated based on the per capita urban land area and decoupling type. The findings of this study can deepen the understanding of the characteristics and quality of urbanization evolution, and provides reference for high-quality development planning and decision-making in megacities. |
