The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light (NTL) imagery can objectively reflect the impacts of human activities on the scope and intensity of urban built-up areas. Therefore, the DMSP/OLS imagery have been widely used in monitoring urban expansion dynamics. In this paper, the invariant region method was used to calibrate the DMSP/OLS time series NTL imagery. Then, we used the calibrated DMSP/OLS imagery to extract the urban built-up areas in China's east coast from 2001 to 2013. The result shows that the built-up areas in China's east coast increased from 7550 km2 in 2001 to 21 650 km2 in 2013, with a net increase of 14 100 km2. Although the built-up areas have increased year by year, the increase rate has slowed down. The gravity center of the built-up areas has gradually moved south. The Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta are the three major urban agglomerations in the east coast. The Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area was unbalanced in regional development, where the small and medium sized cities faced shortage of development resources. The relationship between urban expansion and economic growth was explored. We conclude that population and economy are the two main driving factors for the expansion of urban built-up areas in China's east coast. The rapid urban growth in China's east coast has caused land resource waste to a certain extent. Moreover, we also found that the edges of urban built-up areas were easily mis-extracted, due to the coarse spatial resolution and saturation problem in DMSP/OLS NTL imagery. The new generation of Suomi NPP/VIIRS NTL imagery has greatly improved in spatial and spectral resolutions. In future studies, the advantages of Suomi NPP/VIIRS should be fully explored to provide more accurate monitoring of urban expansion dynamics.
