“…Almenar et al (2021) systematically identifies nexuses between nature‐based solutions, ecosystem services, and urban challenges with plausible causal relationships. Other examples include documenting the services of different urban ecosystem elements or structures (Barthel et al, 2010; Dobbs et al, 2014; Mexia et al, 2018), drawing linkages among ES, urban design factors, landscape patterns or management options (e.g., Cortinovis & Geneletti, 2018; Pulighe et al, 2016; Shoemaker et al, 2019; Tratalos et al, 2007), and demonstrating the potential use of ES to inform or optimize landscape management, infrastructure development or urban planning (Kambo et al, 2019, Di Marino et al 2019, BenDor et al, 2018).…”

China introduced sponge city development (SCD) as a policy initiative to address the complex, interlinked water challenges, such as urban pluvial flooding and water pollution, faced by urban development under climatic change and rapid urbanization. The initiative relies on low-impact development (LID) techniques to integrate ecosystem conservation and urban development, with the aim to maintain or restore natural landscapes and their water regulating capacity as a way to mitigate urban flooding and associated pollution while augmenting water supply. While the country prepares for SCD demonstration and upscaling after pilot implementation since 2014, the initiative is subject to a design deficit in policy implementation that has received little consideration in both the literature and the policy arena but that negatively affects the effectiveness of SCD and its long run impact as intended by the policy. In this paper, we examine the design deficit by mapping and analyzing the policy implementation for SCD in the framework of theory of change (TOC). We present key conditions for individual components in SCD implementation to deliver causal pathways from program inputs to longterm impacts, with identified issues characterizing the design deficit. We provide an overview of the literature on SCD to shed some light on current research while identifying knowledge gaps. The paper proposes and justifies the framework of ecosystem services as an innovative design tool to deliver a systematic approach needed to address the design deficit, paving the pathways for SCD from inputs to impacts fully developing the policy potential for green urban transition with resilience and sustainability.

“…At present, the studies on biophilic urban nature construction mainly focuses on two aspects: "biophilic infrastructure construction" and "biophilic perceptual design", with the strategies of "biophilic ratio improvement" (Beatley, 2011;Beatley, 2018;Carrus et al, 2015;el-Baghdadi & Desha, 2017;Kambo et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2014) and " biophilic management" (Beatley, 2011;Langemeyer et al, 2018;Parsaee et al, 2019), and "biophilic visual connection" (Coburn et al, 2019;Lee, 2019;World Green Building Council, 2014;Yin et al, 2020) and "biophilic non-visual connection" (Ghezeljeh et al, 2017;Soga et al, 2018) were used to achieve the related goals respectively. Although the relevant researches have involved many contents at the medium and micro spatial scales, there is still no a comprehensive framework at the city scale to fully express the panoramic contents of the biophilic urban nature construction.…”

Guiding people to form biophilic aesthetic cognition is an effective means to enhance public ecological awareness. The research and practice related to the biophilia have mostly focused on the pure natural science and the micro and medium space scales, however, there is relatively scarce research on a comprehensive framework of the planning and design methods of biophilic landscape space at the urban scale. Based on the analysis of biophilia and biophilic aesthetic cognition, as well as the empirical research on biophilia promoting environmental preference, put up that nature, wild nature and urban nature are respectively the totality, origin and living landscape spaces supporting the occurrence of biophilic aesthetic cognition. Meanwhile, through three contents of design points, planning pictures and living visions, and with the urban biophilic green network, urban biophilic green community, and one-step away from nature as a scale framework, the living landscape space construction bearing the cognition of the biophilic aesthetics, namely the biophilic urban nature construction, was mainly explored. The aim is to provide useful reference for the construction of biophilic aesthetic cognition, and the identification, planning and design of its landscape space carriers.

“…Ecosystem services include four service elements of supply, regulation, culture and auxiliary. Among them, the supply service refers to the provision of ecological products for nature, the regulation service is to regulate the ecological environment, the cultural service is the cultural and aesthetic enjoyment provided by the nature, and the auxiliary service includes the auxiliary function to the formation and development of land and plants [8][9][10]. Costanza et al proposed using the ecosystem's economic value per unit area to assess ecosystem service value (ESV) [11].…”

Industrialization and urbanization have led to continuous urban development. The rapid change in land-use type and extent has a significant impact on the capacity of ecosystem services. Changes in the landscape pattern of roads, rivers, railway stations, and expressway entrances and exits have evident geographical proximity effects. We used landscape pattern indices and ecosystem service value (ESV) to evaluate the landscape pattern and ESV spatial differentiation of the Pearl River Delta region and its typical transportation infrastructure and rivers in 1990, 2000, and 2017. The results show that rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to changes in urban land use along the Pearl River Estuary. Urban land changes on the east bank of the Pearl River are greater than urban land changes on the west bank of the Pearl River; the landscape diversity of the Pearl River Delta has increased, the connectivity of the landscape has decreased, and the degree of fragmentation has increased. Second, the city size of the Pearl River Delta was negatively correlated with the ESVs. The ESVs in the core areas of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration were smaller than those in the fringe areas. With the gradient change in urban land use, ESVs showed a growing trend from the city center to the surrounding areas. The key areas for ecological protection and restoration should be central urban areas and suburbs. Third, the siphoning effect of the buffer zones of railway stations and expressway entrances and exits was very strong and drove the development and utilization of the surrounding land. As the degree of land development in the buffer zone decreased, the ESVs increased. Fourth, different grades of roads in the Pearl River Delta had different impacts on the regional landscape and ESVs. County roads had a greater interference effect than expressways, national roads, and provincial roads, and the riverside plains of the Pearl River Delta have a large development space, low urban development costs, and multiple land-use activities that have profoundly changed the landscape of the river buffer zone.
