Abstract: The expansion of metropolitan settlements has a direct impact on the quality of life of local people. Monitoring and forecasting its future development is a key prerequisite for taking fundamental measures to regulate land use, optimizing the functional use of urban space and building infrastructure, as well as proposing measures to eliminate negative side effects (e.g. urban heat islands). The aim of this paper is to document the visualization of built-up area dynamics on a regional level using selected Copernicus data, and also a sample of regression analysis focused on selected spatial determinants of development. These newly developed patches within the urban core were classified into three urban growth forms: edge expansion, infill, and outlying. To classify the urbanized area into these three forms, we computed the ratio of the common edge between a new patch and existing urban patches and the total perimeter of a patch. Deepening knowledge about the monitoring of land development using satellite data can help to provide accurate, up-to-date, and reliable data for the decision-making sphere.
