How to read the map

Brown cells show the 2020 reference extent. Red cells show additional urban growth generated for the selected pathway and year. Uncoloured cells mean no additional modelled growth in that layer; they do not necessarily represent undeveloped land.

These are research scenarios, not forecasts or approved land-use plans.
