Based on multi-temporal remote sensing images, the building land index (BAI) of Yuxi City in 1995, 2005 and 2015 was extracted. The spatial and temporal characteristics of urban expansion in Yuxi City in recent 20 years were studied by selecting the expansion rate, expansion intensity, dynamic attitude, expansion degree, compactness and fractal dimension.The results showed that :(1) From 1995 to 2015, the building land in Yuxi City has been in a state of rapid expansion, the area of building land increased from 131.21km2 to 416.66km2, expanding by 284.45km2.(2)The compactness of urban shape has been increasing from 0.033 to 0.058, an increase of 0.025. The overall spatial pattern was becoming more and more compact, and the fractal dimension and stability was constantly declining.The urban form was complex and in an unstable state. In the future, reasonable policies should be formulated to adjust the spatial distribution and expansion mode of building land to achieve sustainable development.
