“…Conversely, in Myers and Gearin's [65] study of demand for denser residential environments, survey data was used to capture a more nuanced picture of housing demand, showing a growing interest in more traditional neighborhood developments as a result of demographic change. Similar studies by Storper and Manville [66] and Song and Knaap [67] show that households are in fact willing to pay a premium for denser communities, which may be more energy efficient.…”

In this article, we explore the links between urban form, land use planning, and energy use. We organize the reviewed literature as follows: (1) potential energy savings from compact development; (2) achieving compact development through land use regulations; and (3) approaches for coordinating land use regulations regionally. We find that while the literature shows a clear link between regional governance, urban form outcomes, and energy use, questions remain on measuring the impact and communicating the degree to which energy use benefits can offset other real and perceived costs associated with greater land use regulation and regional coordination. Our discussion focuses on how researchers, practitioners, and policymakers can better leverage these connections.

“…Drawing on the accounts of central findings of this research, we find that there is a strong case for claims of regional inequality in this urban land expansion picture. We can make this conclusion with reference to the notions of sustainable land use, whose conditions are not met [24]. We can also argue that the findings of this research provide a rich narrative and novel perspectives to the debates on urban land expansion in regions, by capturing regional temporal and spatial patterns of changes in urban land use and its driving forces in the YRD region.…”

“…Such a focused urban land use structure can help to loosen the grasp of automobile dependence and eventually achieve smart urban growth. In brief, the different arguments on New Urbanism emphasize high density, mixing of commercial and residential land use, convenient public transit, safe and public-friendly street networks, strategically placed open spaces, and neighborhoods designed to foster social interaction and a strong sense of place as common traits of sustainable land use development in regions [24].…”

Urban Land Expansion and Structural Change in the Yangtze River Delta, China

et al. 2015

Urban development in China has attracted considerable scholarly attention. However, more work is still needed to examine and understand the mechanisms of urban land expansion, especially within the context of globalization/marketization, decentralization and urbanization. This paper analyzes urban land expansion and structural changes in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD). We find that cities in the YRD are experiencing urban land expansion mainly characterized by the growth of residential and industrial land. The dominant characteristics of urban land expansion in cities have also varied within different development and administrative levels. Based on our conceptual framework, we have used multi-models to investigate the driving forces of urban land expansion and structural changes in the YRD. The results reveal that six influencing factors-foreign direct investment (FDI), labor, government competition, institution, population, and job-housing relations-facilitate land use change in the economic transition process. However, their impacts differ in cities in different geographical locations, as well as with different administrative levels. Finally, this paper discusses policies to promote sustainable urban land use in the YRD. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 10282

“…We base our network analyses on these previous studies and evaluate the number of intersections, links, length, and number of dead-ends in the district of a location (within two minutes of free-flow travel time). Clion et al (2008) highlight that the accessibility measures at the level of a neighborhood are more diverse than on a metropolitan scale, with reference to Holtzclaw (1994) and Song and Knaap (2003), who count among others specific commercial and retail locations within walking distance. Randall and Baetz (2001) evaluate pedestrian connectivity; Dill (2004) extends this to bicycle connectivity.…”

Abstract:Various studies in the field of urban planning and design have given recommendations for "good urban forms, " suggesting that specific spatial characteristics inform the quality of an urban landscape and the way people perceive and behave in them. When modeling spatial behavior in the form of location choice models or hedonic prices, we should reflect these spatial characteristics through the integration of quantitative attributes such as model variables, which is currently only done in a very limited way. The increasing availability of disaggregated geodata enlarges the options to characterize urban morphology in the form of such attributes. The question for the researcher is which attributes are most useful to reflect characteristics of urban morphology and how can they be processed from the given data. In this paper, we want to address this issue and give an overview of quantitative descriptions of urban morphology. We base our work on a data model that is simple enough to allow for reproducibility in any study area. These attributes are classified in multiple scales to reflect different perceptions of urban morphology. In a case study on the canton of Zurich, we furthermore prove how these characteristics allow for the definition of urban typologies at different scales.
