This paper uses high-resolution satellite data on the proportion of buildings in a 250*250 meter cell to study the evolution of human settlement in Ghana over a 40-year period. The analysis finds a strong increase in built-up area over time, mostly concentrated in the vicinity of roads, and also directly on the coast. There is strong evidence of agglomeration effects in the static sense - buildup in one cell predicts buildup in a nearby cell - and in a dynamic sense - buildup in a cell predicts buildup in that cell later on, and an increase in buildup in nearby cells. These effects are strongest over a radius of 3 to 15 kilometers. No evidence is found that human settlements are spaced more or less equally over the landscape or along roads. By fitting a transition matrix to the data, this paper predicts a sharp increase in the proportion of the country that is densely built-up by the middle and end of the century, but there is no increase in the proportion of partially built-up locations.

"In 1969, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill began looking outward to space colonies as the new frontier for humanity's expansion. A decade later, Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, turned his attention to the molecular world as the place where society's future needs could be met using self-replicating nanoscale machines. These modern utopians predicted that their technologies could transform society as humans mastered the ability to create new worlds, undertook atomic-scale engineering, and, if truly successful, overcame their own biological limits. The Visioneers tells the story of how these scientists and the communities they fostered imagined, designed, and popularized speculative technologies such as space colonies and nanotechnologies. Patrick McCray traces how these visioneers blended countercultural ideals with hard science, entrepreneurship, libertarianism, and unbridled optimism about the future. He shows how they built networks that communicated their ideas to writers, politicians, and corporate leaders. But the visioneers were not immune to failure--or to the lures of profit, celebrity, and hype. O'Neill and Drexler faced difficulty funding their work and overcoming colleagues' skepticism, and saw their ideas co-opted and transformed by Timothy Leary, the scriptwriters of Star Trek, and many others. Ultimately, both men struggled to overcome stigma and ostracism as they tried to unshackle their visioneering from pejorative labels like "fringe" and "pseudoscience." The Visioneers provides a balanced look at the successes and pitfalls they encountered. The book exposes the dangers of promotion--oversimplification, misuse, and misunderstanding--that can plague exploratory science. But above all, it highlights the importance of radical new ideas that inspire us to support cutting-edge research into tomorrow's technologies"--

De Vlaamse Woonmonitor is een meetsysteem dat via zorgvuldig gekozen indicatoren gegevens verzamelt over wonen en woonbeleid. In het boek "De Vlaamse woonmonitor 2021" worden die indicatoren nu voor het eerst ook ingevuld. Het boek bevat figuren met cijfers die zo ver mogelijk teruggaan naar het verleden en kaarten die de geografische verschillen binnen Vlaanderen in beeld brengen. Het boek is in de eerste plaats beschrijvend. Waar mogelijk geeft het ook duiding, of als het kan verklaringen. Daarbij is geput uit de veelheid van rapporten die het Steunpunt Wonen de voorbije jaren heeft geschreven, zodat het ook een soort synthese is geworden van het onderzoekswerk van het Steunpunt Wonen.https://steunpuntwonen.be/de-vlaamse-woonmonitor-2021/
