Urban Growth Predictor QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Urban Growth Predictor supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Predicts future urban growth, traffic-density pressure, population density, nighttime activity (economic proxy), heat-risk, green-space-loss, and urban land-use-transition indicators from AOI-only Earth Engine trend data in QGIS 3.x and 4.x.
About
Urban Growth Predictor uses Google Earth Engine datasets and a spatial allocation model to forecast urban indicators from only an area of interest, a future year, and the desired urban indicator. It creates styled raster outputs and can optionally create polygon vector outputs with class/value attributes and XLSX/CSV trend reports. It reuses the Environmental Assessment Studio Earth Engine dependency and project settings when available.
