TRANSCRIPT
1. IntroductionIn connection with the exponential increase of big data, the Internet and distributed
computing provide the technical framework for processing geospatial data. Web-based GISprovides a gateway to explore and access geographic WEB services, which help to visualize andanalyze the geographic data for GIS users. In particular, to measure and compare the urbangrowth process of big cities in a multidimensional way, the Web-GIS can inspire and assist inunderstanding the urbanization process in a more comprehensive manner.
2. Data and MethodsBoth geospatial data (three kinds of optical image data, cloud-based vector data) and
statistical data are utilized to extract the indicators. The optical imaged data utilized are listed:• Land use / cover (LULC) map: Landsat TM/ ETM+/ OLI satellite imagery.• Energy consumption intensity map: DMSP-OLS nighttime imagery.• Population data: ORNL's LandScan global population distribution data.

3. ResultsIn this project, an open access web-based GIS platform was established (Fig.1). 35 major cities
in Asian and African regions (Fig.3) were selected to examine the urban sprawl of mega-citiesduring the 15 years (2000-2014). In order to quantify and measure the urbanization process, allof these cities were separated into three groups (African cities, Asian cities and Chinese cities),and the size of the target area is a 100 × 100 km extent for each city. All of the processeddatasets could be downloaded from the website.
