We describe a new approach to monitoring urban dynamics—the MIDST (Multiple Indicators Detecting Significant Trends) system that we are in the process of building. A main focus is urbanization in the megacities and major conurbations of the western hemisphere. Here we explore multiple datasets at various resolutions to portray the recent urban dynamics across CONUS.
