Studies on urban expansion in megacities are essential for managing sprawl to promote high-quality development. In this study, we have selected the emerging megacity of Zhengzhou as research area, used spatial analysis method quantify spatiotemporal characteristics from 1990 2020, and evaluated rationality basis elasticity index a comparison with other megacities. Results demonstrated that 1) experienced great 2020 showed trend “steady–fast–slow,” steady 2000, fast 2000 2010, slow after...
