a China, b the USA and c LAM-L. Focal statistics have been applied to the simulated maps for better visualisation. The results show that China and the USA experience more urban land expansion in scenario SSP5 than in SSP3. In contrast, the LAM-L region experiences greater urban land expansion in scenario SSP3 than in SSP5.
