This dataset contains a multi-dimensional set of indicators considering socio-economic and land change factors (Table 1, metadata). Our indicators span 27 Brazilian state capitals from 1990 to 2020. We acquired variables from different sources to illustrate the land change and socio-economic transformation in two periods of analysis for all studied cities (1990-2000 and 2000-2020). The indicators are: Human development index, Gini index, gross domestic product (GDP), population density, % of basic services provision (sewage, electricity, water provision and garbage collection), Housing units, Inhabitants per housing units, total urban land area, percentage of new urban land classified as infilling, edge-expansion and outlining, urban density, urbanisation speed or annual growth rate (AUEII), Urban compactness, agricultural land use, pasture land use, mosaic land use, Shannon Index. The indicators can be used to evaluate other policies aimed at developing more sustainable and just cities.
