    DMSP Nighttime Lights of China: Di BG TH Driven by Growth

    Uploaded by

    Satellite observed nighttime lighting in China more than doubled from 1992 to 2009, tracking growth in GDP and population. This pattern of rapid growth in lighting is typical of developing countries undergoing industrialization, while developed countries show stable lighting. The economic downturn beginning in 2008 slowed China's lighting growth. As China continues developing, its lighting levels are expected to eventually stabilize similarly to more developed nations.

    Summary
    • Satellite observed nighttime lighting in China more than doubled 
    from 1992 to 2009
    from 1992 to 2009.
    • The growth in lighting tracks growth in both GDP and population.
    • This pattern is typical of the countries undergoing rapid 
    d l
    development (e.g. Vietnam, Algeria, Albania, Portugal and others).
    ( i l i lb i l d h )
    • Developed countries, like USA have stable lighting across the same 
    time period, perhaps due to improvements in lighting efficiency?
    • There is an indication that the growth of lighting in China slowed 
    due to the economic downturn that started in 2008.
    • At some point it is anticipated that growth in lighting in China will 
    At some point it is anticipated that growth in lighting in China will
    stabilize, similar to the pattern of developed countries.
