[2/2] La croissance urbaine de #LasVegas s'accompagne d’un boom démographique : de 1,38 million en 2000 à 2,4 millions en 2025 (+74%). Cette expansion rapide illustre les défis des métropoles arides face à la pression foncière, à l’eau et à la durabilité. #geography #urbanexpansion

Final photo from iconic US satellite shows how Las Vegas has 'doubled' in size over the last 25 years The final image captured by the recently decommissioned Landsat 7 satellite shows how "Sin City" has nearly doubled in size during the iconic spacecraft's 25-year lifespan.

[1/2] Le #satellite Landsat 7, désactivé en 2024 après 25 ans de mission, a capturé deux images spectaculaires de #LasVegas en 1999 et 2024. Elles révèlent que la ville a presque doublé de surface, gagnant des milliers d’hectares dans le désert du Nevada. #geography #urbanexpansion

[3/3] Le projet de ville nouvelle d’Orascom (18.000 logements) menace directement le fragile équilibre du lac. Étendu sur 5 km, il alarme habitants et élus, qui dénoncent une bétonisation destructrice dans une zone déjà vulnérable aux changements climatiques. #geography #Senegal #urbanexpansion

[5/5] Ce mouvement questionne l’aménagement durable du territoire : faut-il favoriser la densité en ville ou l’étalement contrôlé en périphérie ? L’exemple américain illustre les dilemmes entre accessibilité, usage des sols et transition écologique. #geography #urbanexpansion #YIMBY

[4/5] Les YIMBYs ont connu des succès majeurs en matière de densification : suppression du zonage pavillonnaire à Minneapolis, facilitation des logements annexes en Californie, ou projets autour des gares dans des villes comme Portland ou Denver. #geography #urbanexpansion #YIMBY

[3/5] L’idée de mobiliser des terres publiques fédérales pour construire du logement, y compris abordable, gagne du terrain. Environ 400.000 acres pourraient être libérés dans l’Ouest américain, à moins de 10 miles de villes de plus de 5.000 habitants. #geography #urbanexpansion #YIMBY

[2/5] Le Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex a gagné 3 millions d’habitants en 20 ans. Son modèle d’expansion à faible densité reste abordable, avec des projets comme Pecan Square, où 3.100 logements sont prévus à partir de 415.000 $, dans des lotissements périphériques équipés. #geography #urbanexpansion
