“…It is obvious that the landscape sites are mainly gathered in the urban core zone of Xi'an. High-density landscapes can benefit city sustainability by reducing travel time and improving energy efficiency (Belchera et al, 2019). Cultural services can reach their upper limits in long-term high-density landscape areas.…”

Landscapes are part of the earth's surface, and include terrestrial, aquatic, natural, and anthropogenic features with differing dominance. The evaluation of Landscape Aesthetics (LA) and scenery is helpful for the understanding landscapes. The mapping of LA is increasingly being recognized in urban and landscape planning. Examining the flow and capacity of LA is an essential element in understanding the sustainability of urban landscapes. An explicit methodological approach was proposed for mapping LA using social media data (geolocated photographs) from Flickr to study the spatial distribution of LA in Xi'an, China. The LA flow and LA capacity were conceptually distinguished and assessed. The LA flow was analyzed with 10,278 geotagged photographs from Flickr to express people's actual appreciation of LA. The LA capacity was examined by spatial criterion evaluation, combined the weight of landscape features. LA flow and LA capacity differ in both spatial extent and quantity, although there was a spatially explicit balance between them. The results show that LA flow largely occurs in the urban core zone and that LA capacity is concentrated in certain parts of Xi'an due to the imbalanced distribution of historical cultural heritage sites. This research contributes to a better understanding of LA values and the relationships between LA values and landscape characteristics. The results can support the integration of cultural services in landscape planning and land use policy.

“…Real estate prices are known to have close ties to the surrounding landscapes, as demonstrated by various studies [26][27][28]. Attractive landscapes, such as those with a desirable open view, proximity to the ocean [29], moderate grassland areas, an appropriate distance from wetlands [28], and a higher density of vegetation [30], are likely to result in a significant positive premium in house prices. Conversely, unpleasant views or the presence of undesirable facilities, such as industrial installations and cemeteries [31,32], polluted urban rivers [33], roads and railways [34], and agricultural land [35], may negatively impact house prices.…”

Urban blue spaces (UBS) have been shown to provide a multitude of cultural ecosystem services to urban residents, while also having a considerable impact on the surrounding community’s house prices. However, the impact of different types of UBS and the effect of their abundance on house prices have been largely understudied. This study aims to address this gap by examining the impact of different types of UBS on house prices using eight megacities in China as a case study. Spatial hedonic price models are developed to assess the impact of different types of UBS on house prices, and differences in their impact across cities are identified. Variance partitioning analysis is also used to decompose the relative contributions of UBS variables and explore the relationship between UBS-attributable premiums and the abundance of UBS. The results indicate that lakes and the main river have a significant positive impact on house prices in most cities, while the impact of small rivers on house prices varies across cities. The influence of UBS variables differs significantly across cities, but these differences are not solely driven by the abundance of UBS. This study provides valuable information for UBS planning and management and contributes to the equitable distribution of urban public services.

“…Despite the long history of urban morphology acceptability, there is to our knowledge no conclusive study dedicated to OSR, although architects are increasingly promoting their projects on the basis of this 'qualitative density' index. Literature is scarce on that topic but some studies support this hypothesis: MFR receive higher hedonic value when green spaces exceed 63m²/inhabitant and green spaces in MFR receive higher value than those in nearby public parks 58 . Urban forms with balanced open spaces also appear to be economically viable, as a third of the surveyed plots in our study developed over the past 20 years have OSR>0.5.…”

“…Open Space Ratio (OSR) is a more qualitative index of density, used by urban planners and architects to control the balance between unbuilt open space and floor areas. OSR is assumed here to mediate frequentation (footfall) and potential conflicts of use (services), which in the case of green spaces is particularly informative to assess the durability of ecosystem services provision 58 . Two other indicators reflect urban morphology as mediators of density : Building Coverage (BC) and plot-average Building storeys (BS) because FAR = BC * BS.…”

To improve living conditions of biodiversity and humans, urban forms must reconcile density with vegetation to meet the dual challenge of sustainability and liveability. This sustainable urbanism paradox is a dilemma for practitioners and researchers, stressing the crucial need for comprehensive analyses. Multi-family residential (MFR) housing could achieve balanced density-greening, proximity ecosystem services and people-biodiversity interactions, but meeting such objectives relies on finding balanced morphologies and metrics at the operational scale. Based on a systemic approach of 11,593 MFR plots in the Lyon metropolitan area (France), we identified critical tipping points in morphology and greening. Density explained 6% of plot greening, while open space ratio and open space greening explained 94%. Open space ratio >0.5 was found to be a tipping point to achieve sustainable green supply. Operational morphologies balancing density and greening were modelled and illustrated across building heights, providing guidelines for emerging regulatory tools in sustainable urban planning.
