The article discusses how urban growth in Malaysia is spreading into peri-urban areas, impacting the environment and communities. To manage this growth sustainably, a model called FutureSim was used to predict land cover changes in George Town Conurbation. The model accurately predicted changes until 2030, helping planners make decisions for sustainable land use in rapidly developing regions.
