“…Consequently, while the extant case studies suggest that NU neighborhoods have fairly homogeneous demographics, we simply lack the extensive research with which to evaluate this proposition. Second, NU is itself a diverse movement in practice (Dierwechter, 2014;Moore, 2010;Trudeau, 2013) and it is unclear how, if at all, literature on social diversity of NU neighborhoods takes this into consideration.…”

“…The results of a literature review reveal that policies that may be relevant to the efficiency of environmental change in urban land development include traditional zoning systems for land use, urban design regulations, and practices adopted by smart growth management [50][51][52][53][54]. These urban development policies influence the current state of urban land use and socio-economic development, thereby affecting the efficiency of the eventual changes to the environment.…”

“…The concepts of growth management, smart growth, new urbanism, and sustainable development have been proposed in recent years [50,51,53,85]. Among these, smart growth and new urbanism are the most well-known and can effectively reduce the spread of urban areas and manage urban development.…”

This study describes a new assessment model framework, termed the driving forces-pressure-state-impact-policy and pattern (DPSIP) model, for environmental change efficiency in urban land development, based on urban sustainable development and the theory of economic efficiency evaluation. A spatial and measurable efficiency value is defined for environmental changes in urban land development, which provides a comprehensive evaluation index for the efficiency of urban development and its environmental impact. This type of urban interior sustainability is considered new within the context of global environmental changes. We identify nine important indicators to evaluate the relative efficiency of 233 neighborhoods in Tainan, Taiwan. The results indicate that the average environmental change efficiency is 89.44%, which shows clear spatial differentiation. The key indicators affecting the efficiency score are area, population density, location, mixed land uses, the floor area ratio, and the impervious ratio. In the future, urban design can reduce environmental impacts and enhance efficiency values.

“…Likewise, Dierwechter [21] observed that the city's planning should be called "smart segregation" instead of smart growth while Dooling [22] used Seattle's history of public green space development to introduce a research agenda on ecological gentrification that illuminates losers in the green cities conflict. In fact, uneven ecological degradation and urban inequity have always been a centerpiece of Seattle's environmental history according to Klingle [23].…”

Risky Business: Sustainability and Industrial Land Use across Seattle’s Gentrifying Riskscape

This paper examines the spatial and temporal trajectories of Seattle's industrial land use restructuring and the shifting riskscape in Seattle, WA, a commonly recognized urban model of sustainability. Drawing on the perspective of sustainability as a conflicted process, this research explored the intersections of urban industrial and nonindustrial land use planning, gentrification, and environmental injustice. In the first part of our research, we combine geographic cluster analysis and longitudinal air toxic emission comparisons to quantitatively investigate socioeconomic changes in Seattle Census block-groups between 1990, 2000, and 2009 coupled with measures of pollution volume and its relative potential risk. Second, we qualitatively examine Seattle's historical land use policies and planning and the growing tension between industrial and nonindustrial land use. The gentrification, green cities, and growth management conflicts embedded within sustainability/livability lead to pollution exposure risk and socioeconomic vulnerability converging in the same areas and reveal one of Seattle's significant environmental challenges. Our mixed-method approach can guide future urban sustainability studies to more effectively examine the connections between land use planning, industrial displacement, and environmental injustice. Our results also help sustainable development practitioners recognize that a more just sustainability in Seattle and beyond will require more planning and policy attention to mitigate obscured industrial land use conflicts.
