Overview

This observational analysis shows expanding built-up areas in Durban, highlighting challenges in urban geography pedagogy.

Key Points

  • Urban built-up areas in Durban increased from 123.21 km² in 2004 to 442.92 km² in 2024, indicating rapid urbanization.
  • Quantitative analysis utilizes GIS-based change detection from 2004 to 2024, predicting further expansion to 520.3 km² by 2034.
  • The study integrates Land Use and Land Cover analysis with urban geography pedagogy to enhance student skills in spatial analysis.
  • Findings stress the critical need for sustainable urban planning strategies to address declining vegetation and environmental pressures.
