The combined influence of mining activities and the underlying terrain gradient has caused significant transformations in the landscape patterns of mining cities. The natural topography being altered by mining operations can result in a distinct evolution in the spatial arrangement and ecological dynamics of these cities. Spatial heterogeneities are influenced by factors such as extraction techniques, waste disposal methods, and infrastructure development. The inherent terrain gradient heavily influences the distribution of mining sites and urban expansion patterns. This research underscores the intricate interplay between human-induced activities and natural topographical features in shaping the landscape of mining cities. The development of resilient communities in areas that are evolving due to mining requires a clear understanding of these dynamics for sustainable urban planning, environmental conservation, and community development.
