AB  - The planning of metropolises is a challenging issue, as it guides the high-quality development of developing cities. Providing a development direction through rational planning while avoiding path dependency is a key challenge for developing cities pursuing high-quality development. This issue is discussed in this paper, with the Nanchang Metropolitan Area, China, taken as an example. The solution involves analyzing the urban spatial pattern to reveal the phased characteristics and evolutionary trajectory of the urbanization process, and comparing it with developed cities to provide insights. To this end, satellite remote sensing data and landscape indices are used for the analysis. Data sources are provided by tasks such as satellite image classification at different scales, post-processing of unsupervised segmentation, and statistics of landscape metrics. The research analyzes the current status and changes of Nanchang's spatial pattern from 2017 to 2023, and conducts a comparison with the Sydney Metropolitan Area to explore the future development direction of Nanchang. This provides insights for understanding the current spatial pattern of developing cities and determining their development directions.
