| description | In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations Member States and includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The indicator, “Ratio of land consumption rate to population growth rate” (indicator 11.3.1) was proposed for the monitoring of urban development. The present study proposes the analysis of the built-up space evolution in relation to the demographic growth in the main metropolitan areas of Romania using the 11.3.1 indicator. Land consumption rate and population growth rate (LCRPGR) is used to assess the sustainability of urban growth, which takes into account both the change in the built-up area and in the population. LCRPGR is calculated as the ratio of land consumption rate (LCR) and the population growth rate (PGR). The analysis was conducted at the metropolitan area level for the 2006–2009, 2009–2015 and 2015–2020 periods. LCR and PGR proved to be very useful indicators for the monitoring of the intensity of built-up changes in the eight metropolitan areas both in time and in space and are useful for the local and central administrations, in both the context of achieving the sustainable development targets and goals and in conducting urban design and planning. |
