I am working on the project :
- Sustainable urbanization expansion of the Kut city - Iraq
The literature on the debate between the compact city and urban sprawl discusses many aspects or factors to urban expansion. Prominent writers include Ewin, Gordon, Richardson, et al. Even if some studies might not directly point out factors of urban expansion, their theoretical arguments can easily lead to what factors should be considered.
Dear Dr Feng,
Many Thanks for your scientific response,
That is completely true( many aspects or factors to urban expansion.), so I am wondering about these factors and haw it effect on urban sprawl of the city?

Feng Frederic Deng
Considerations are intertwined, although the environmental consideration of sustainability has recently become a priority, but sustainability has its social roots
Dear Ahmed,
Thank you for your important advice .

Dear Dr Ihsan,
Actually, the attention of researchers with the sustainability factors become increase all over the world beside the other factors.
but the sustainblity still the most important factor.

Topical question. Cities are complex spaces that don't relent to such ranking of effects. Take African cities. They were colonial constructs. In many cases, natives were third-tier dwellers who lived in the valleys. Following independence, elite natives went up the hills. Now, the elite are occupying hill after hill leaving slums in the valleys.
There you have a complex interaction of history, geography and economics. Yet, we have not looked at the dynamics of economics in that broader thrust.

I agree with you, hinting that the political factor is the most important, it is linked to the social factor, because the social system is the one who produces the political system, I think it is the same in most developing countries
Some causes of urban expansion:
Population growth
Independence of decision
Economic growth
Industrialisation
Speculation
Expectations of land appreciation
Land hunger attitude
Legal disputes
Physical geography
Development and property tax
Living and property cost
Lack of affordable housing
Demand of more living space
Public regulation
Transportation
Road width
Single-family home
Nucleus family
Credit and capital market
Government developmental
policies
Lack of proper planning policies
Failure to enforce planning
policies
Country-living desire
Housing investment
Large lot size
There are no fixed indicators, but vary according to the study area
But when considering the urbanization of a city, the integration of land uses with the transport network, the availability of services, the avoidance of the spread of slums, and many others should be studied.
1- Providing Urban services
2- Increase the building of settlements
3- Climate change
4- Exclusion and rising inequality
5- Security
6- International Migration
7- Provide the works
Dear Fred,
Actualy, I agree with you that we have a complex interaction of history, geography and economics in our cities.
so that I am wondering about
the factors affecting the spatial expansion of cities in general??
regards
Fred Amonya
Dear Dr Ihsan,
Yes the political and social factors are the most important
affecting the spatial expansion of cities not only in the countries of third world but all over the world,
Are you agree with me??

Dear Muhaiminu,
Thank you for your explain,

Dear Araw,
Well done, the integration of land uses with the transport network is a very important factor.
But are you think there are other factors effect on the expansion of our cities ??

Arwa Hazim
Dear Ali,
I agree that these factors :
1- Providing Urban services
2- Increase the building of settlements
3- Climate change
4- Exclusion and rising inequality
5- Security
6- International Migration
7- Provide the works
effect on the expansion of our cites?
my question which one of these factors in the important in your opinion in expansion of your city?
regards
Ali Ahmadi
