Popis:	Landscape dynamics along urban-rural transect has the potential for understanding and assessing ecological consequences due to urbanization. Comparative study on landscape pattern among different cities is still rare. By combining five sets of remote sensing data, landscape metrics, this paper investigates the process of urban rural interactions in six cities of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), namely, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai. The results show that urbanization in the cities was an obvious phenomenon during the study period. But different cities have different trends in their process of “diffusion and coalescence”. Landscape metrics can generally capture the similarity and difference of urbanization process. The findings can help to better improve the establishment of ecological network, especially in a city region context.
