Abstract

This section of the study focuses on introducing a methodology and approach for utilizing cartographic modeling in the context of urban development. Furthermore, it proposes the creation of a cartographic model that can be adjusted based on spatial and temporal variables. In this regard, the model aims to generate a map indicating the most suitable locations for urban development. This is achieved by applying a set of criteria and standards to assess the suitability of the land for urban growth. The ultimate goal is to effectively manage and control the urban growth within the defined boundaries of Al-Qantara Sharq city.
