Urban growth patterns for Bucharest, Romania: Analysis of Landsat imagery
Mihaela Aldea, and Florian Petrescu

Abstract
Is there any spatial pattern for Bucharest urban growth that occurred during the last 25 years, after the end of Cold War? This question is answered by the results obtained through the Landsat data analysis performed in order to detect the changes produced in land use in the last 25 years for the city of Bucharest and its surroundings. The analysis is based on the four major land use classes that are generated by means of a processing methodology proposed in this paper.
