Popis: OpenStreetMap (OSM) is one of the most successful and well-known projects in the field of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). It has not only become supplement to basic mapping services and professional surveying data, but also a popular free spatial dataset in urban analysis. However, the completeness of OSM building data in China was relatively low in the past. As a result, there is a relatively small number of studies on OSM building data in China, especially in terms of spatial patterns and evolution of OSM building data. In response to this research gap, this article proposes an OSM building data evolution model that combines gravity model and tree model. The spatial distribution pattern and evolution trend of OSM building data in the Yangtze River Delta region of China from 2014 to 2020 were systematically studied, providing insights and references for the future development of OSM building data in China. The research results indicate: (1) From 2014 to 2020, OSM building data in various cities in the Yangtze River Delta region grew rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of 30%, but there were significant spatial differences; (2) In terms of space, due to the influence of urban economy, population, and education level, OSM buildings mainly evolve and develop along large cities, forming a local radial development structure around large cities. Shanghai-Suzhou-Wuxi-Nanjing-Xuzhou/Hefei is the main evolutionary path of OSM building data in the Yangtze River Delta region; (3) In terms of time series, the gap between cities gradually decreases with the development of time, and OSM buildings gradually expand and develop from large cities to small and medium-sized cities, with spatial differences gradually narrowing. However, when OSM buildings have a certain scale, the city size will limit the development of OSM buildings to some extent.
