“…The literature indicates that the delineation of UGBs can benefit from using urban growth models or land use change simulation models., including cellular automata (CA) and agent based model (ABM) [6,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], such as SLEUTH [17], CLUE-s [18], and GEOMOD [19]. Some influential studies and plans have applied these models to help determine UGBs [6,7,[20][21][22].…”

For megacities experiencing rapid urbanization in China, urban growth boundaries (UGBs) have been considered as a useful means to control urban sprawl and to promote sustainable urban development. However, scientific methods and tools to delineate sound UGBs by planners are few and far between. Using metropolitan Chengdu as the study area, this paper applies the system dynamics (SD) and conversion of land use and its effects at small region extent (CLUE-s) models to delineate UGBs. In this study, land use demand was simulated in the SD model temporally at a macro-level and allocated in the CLUE-s model spatially at a micro-level. Key social-economic elements and spatial pattern factors were used in the simulation process for the period of 2013–2030. The simulation results under various scenarios showed that areas along the major corridors and belt roads of the main Chengdu metropolitan area and its satellite towns have higher chances to be developed. The areas most likely to be developed were used to establish the UGBs for 2020, 2025, and 2030. This research demonstrates that the integrated framework of SD and CLUE-s models provides a feasible means of UGB delineation under different development scenarios.

“…Some authors suggested making additional adjustments to the final UGBs or UDBs by integrating other policy considerations and by excluding spatial control areas (e.g., redline ecological areas, restrictive development areas, farmland protection areas; B. Zheng et al 2018; Q. Zheng et al 2017; Zhuang et al 2017).…”

Facing the need to control urban sprawl, many Chinese cities are exploring the use of development-limiting boundaries, such as urban growth boundary (UGB) and urban development boundary (UDB), as required by the central government. Through a key word search of several databases including Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, we identified and reviewed hundreds of articles published in academic or professional journals. Our review shows that policy processes discussed in the literature have emphasized the technical aspect with analytical sophistication. We identified three types of approach to UGB and UDB in the literature: the growth-driven, the constraint-oriented, and the hybrid. While urban theories and modeling techniques that originated from Western countries have greatly influenced the analytical process underlying some of these approaches, the UGB/UDB policy debate and explorations were also responsive to China’s unique urban and policy conditions. Despite the rich empirical content in the literature, very little research has been grounded in a scientific understanding of China’s urban development. Issues such as intergovernmental coordination, policy enforcement, and evaluation were also inadequately addressed in the existing literature. The literature’s newness may have been a major factor for these limitations. Our critique of the current literature may inspire new areas of research to generate knowledge that can inform China’s continuous policy efforts to combat urban sprawl.

“…The development of an integrated modelling-measurement system for the near-real-time assessment of port activities on air pollution could strengthen port pollution management and improve the air quality in port cities [90]. The use of the urban growth boundary (UGB) delimitation method [91], the implementation of integrated territorial investments (ITI) [92], the improvement of the utilization efficiency of urban land [93], and the designing of urban blue space [94] could promote the sustainability of the ecological environment of port cities. Using material flow analysis (MFA) to analyze the urban metabolism (UM) was conducive to resource management and supported the sustainable environmental planning of port cities [95].…”

Port City Sustainability: A Review of Its Research Trends

In recent years, with the development of society, the awareness of environmental protection for people has been increasing. While ports promote the economic development and employment levels of port cities, they also have a negative impact on the environment of port cities. The sustainability of port cities is increasingly valued. Port cities face huge challenges, and their sustainability needs to be better understood. The purpose of this article is to review research on the sustainability of port cities. We used content analysis to classify and analyze the existing relevant literature, to learn about the hotspots and deficiencies of past research, and to propose future research directions. We found that port sustainability has become an increasingly important research topic during the past ten years. From the perspective of geographic research areas, European port cities are the hot spots for sustainability research. Regarding research fields, technologies, methods and measures to promote the sustainability of port cities are popular research topics. In terms of research methods, qualitative research plays an important role in the study of port city sustainability. Finally, guidance for future research on port city sustainability is proposed according to the review results.
