“…Strictly limited by urban policies for land use planning, the sprawl of built-up areas, new towns and metropolitan area (272 km 2 ) account for only about 25% of the total areas. The average per capita public open space provision in Hong Kong is 2.46 m 2 /person 29 , which is lower compared with other Asian cities such as Macau peninsula (2.7m 2 /person) 30 , Singapore (10 m 2 /person) 31 , and Tokyo (7 m 2 /person) 32 . Moreover, local open space per capita in four populated districts, including Central and Western, Wanchai, Yau Tsim Mong and Kowloon City districts is even below 1 m 2 /person 33 .…”

Accessing urban parks is important for promoting physical activities and improving public health. In this study, we propose the use of Google Maps crowdsourcing data and the incorporation of park attractiveness to model urban park accessibility in the complex urban environments of Hong Kong. The difference between using geometric and route distance, the effect of park attractiveness in measuring accessibility, and the benefits gained from using walk time compared to distance are investigated. Our result shows that (1) route and geometric distances have a strong correlation with a conversion factor of about 1.5; (2) the common assumption that park size can be a proxy for describing attractiveness may not be correct. Instead, park attractiveness should be explicitly considered for a more effective accessibility modeling; and (3) estimation by walking time shows that there are non-negligible impacts from street conditions and traffic on urban park accessibility. Moreover, district hotspots short of park accessibility or attractiveness can be explicitly detected. Overall, this developed approach provides a flexible and informative approach to model the accessibility to urban parks. The outputs will help city planners, health professionals, and policymakers to evaluate and improve urban park planning and equity in accessibility in high-density cities.

“…The main goal of the green belt is to keep the land from urban sprawl and maintain the designated area for forestry, agriculture, and provide a home to wildlife (Ramesh & Nijagunappa, 2014). The average green ratio and its different show the evenness of green space distribution (Li et al, 2011). The duration of subdivision approval is the period from submission of the subdivision application until the issuance of an approval letter from the land office.…”

Governmentregulationis one of the additional factorswhen examining the influence of land regulations by local authorities on the housing supply. Specifically, this factor is taken into consideration to investigate the effect of city-specific factors on housing supply elasticities. Some government regulation sub-factors usually proxied by index value obtained from the Wharton Residential Land Use Regulation Index (WRLURI). However, the index value is limited to a specific year and not distributed on short term or long-term basis due to data unavailability. Thispaper reviews the effect of government regulation sub-factors examined by the previous studies to develop a conceptual framework using time series data when the data is available. The findings of this analysis revealed that new studies should explore times series data for sub-factors such as number of restrictions,number of governing bodies, duration for subdivision approval, and the number of growth management policies.

Green infrastructure (GI) as a way of comprehensive spatial planning based on the conservation and management of land resources, against the spread of environmental, social and economic impact caused by urban phenomenon, provides strategic solution to ease the high-density urban land use, economic and ecological development, culture protection and urban expansion. This paper puts forward some guide for urban green space system planning of high density urban development through the review dynamic development of GI theory application in foreign cities, namely, to carry out forward-looking initiative project of sustainable planning, construct multi-functional and flexibly connected green space system and dispersed green space and use GI benefit assessment means to optimize related development policy.
