Urban green spaces face increasing pressure to reconcile ecological conservation with rising public demand as urbanization accelerates. Yet the spatial coupling of human needs and natural provisioning in urban–rural fringe remains insufficiently understood. Focusing on country park cluster Beijing’s Huitian region, this study develops an integrated assessment framework—combining importance, connectivity potential, construction suitability, recreational demand—to evaluate nature suitability pinpoint mismatches human–nature interactions. Ecological importance is quantified through sensitivity analysis InVEST-based habitat-quality modeling, while potential estimated via normalized least-cost corridor analysis. Construction derived from proportion artificial surfaces road network density, measured by population concentration, facility transport accessibility. These metrics are synthesized map nature-suitability patterns reveal divergences between provisioning. The results show a pronounced north–south gradient Dongxiaokou Ditch Forest Park emerging hotspots. Nineteen source patches identified, strongest southern sector Park.

Dispersed low-density development–“urban sprawl”–has many detrimental environmental, economic, and social consequences. Sprawl leads to higher greenhouse-gas emissions poses an increasing threat the long-term availability of vital ecosystem services. Therefore, urban sprawl is in stark contradiction principles sustainable land use need for a sustainability transformation. This study presents degree on planet at multiple spatial scales (continents, UN regions, countries, subnational units, regular grid) period 1990–2014. Urban increased by 95% 24 years, almost 4% per year, with built-up areas growing 28 km 2 day, or 1.16 hour.

Urban green belts (UGBs), an important infrastructure of cities, have the functions constraining urban sprawl, which are great significance to green, resilient and sustainable development. However, it remains unclear how quantify effect UGBs on sprawl degree fragmentation after constrain sprawl. Here, we proposed a extraction method explore spatial evolution in rapidly expanding megacity Beijing from 2000 2020. We also quantitatively investigated role measured with help constraint assessment index, Annual Ring model, landscape pattern index. Results showed that: (1) Beijing's area "V"-shaped trend first decreasing then increasing 2020, 332.61 km2 303.41 2015, 369.42 is equivalent about 54 Olympic Forest Parks.

Green Belt policies govern peri-urban landscapes globally by restricting built development. Yet, they often have little consideration for the land within them. This is especially case in England where ecosystem services are poorly accounted policy, whilst also being viewed as a development obstacle, with few environmental and social benefits; situation mirrored globally. Moreover, there significant research gap into Belts through socio-ecological lenses of multifunctionality, which allows populist discourses to go unchallenged. Using modelling participatory mapping data this paper addresses quantifying service supply, trade-offs multifunctionality North-East Belt, wider planning policy implications. The results show that contrary claims, can do provide multiple benefits people when studied these lenses. However, levels individual overall differ spatially resulting opportunity areas well potential losses from Areas deciduous coniferous woodland key "green wedges" close urban populations were found be "hots-spots", whereas arable improved grassland notable "cold-spots". Trade-offs mostly provisioning services. We argue explicitly holistically accounting could catalyse multifunctional space climate, nature landscapes. Additionally, our study demonstrates conceptual merits planning.

The spatial arrangement of settlements constitutes a long-lasting legacy and shapes the prospects for transformations toward sustainability. Thus, understanding drivers changes in settlement patterns is essential. In this article, we present spatially explicit, geostatistical analysis dynamics, qualitative investigation its regulative, demographic, economic drivers, using example Vienna, Austria between 1984 2018. Combining explicit metrics urban sprawl cluster analysis, analyzed high-resolution maps buildings, population, jobs to identify distinct trajectories. Societal more or less sprawled dynamics are with desk research expert interviews. We distinguish five types dynamics: persistently dense areas increasing use intensity, re-densification areas, redensification isolated buildings. Urban renewal schemes have fostered response population growth restructuring. combination green space policies has successfully limited expansion. Challenges arise from demand single-family housing corresponding zoning regulations. These factors solidify existing settlements, posing obstacles efficient such crucial sustainable development.

In England, Green Belt policy primarily aims to prevent urban sprawl and maintain openness. This contrasts globally with a new generation of multi-goal Belts which contribute climate action ecosystem services provision. Recently, there have been calls from researchers practitioners for England follow suit widen the scope provide multifunctional benefits around towns cities. Although some secondary objectives encourage wider exist in English national planning policy, it is unclear if, how, these are implemented by authorities. Responding this research gap, paper assesses extent promotes people nature. A bespoke multi-criteria assessment framework was designed used on purposive sample 69 authorities across reflecting different governance structures urban, peri-urban rural locations. The results show considerable variation way promoted can be categorised into four typologies. Where policies score high coverage, they often had weak wording. Assessment criteria protecting natural capital scales scored highest, whilst multifunctionality, mainstreaming equitable delivery lowest overall. Key hooks identified increase scores include Infrastructure regional tier government. Additionally, our echo international literature suggesting importance government catalysing more ambitious policy. Whereas, local perceive treat as positive assets capable providing people, their full potential has not yet fully realised or mainstreamed

Improving urban land green use efficiency (ULGUE) is an effective way to increase social, economic, and ecological benefits achieve regional sustainable development goals. This study takes three batches of low-carbon pilot cities construction as a quasi-natural experiment investigates the impact on ULGUE through multi-period difference-in-differences method spatial Dubin difference model (SDM-DID). The results show that (1) from 2006 2019, in China increased. From aspect space, gradually decreased west east, showing obviously high agglomeration phenomenon Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Pearl River Delta; (2) after robustness test, parallel trend endogenous it found conclusion can effectively improve still relevant indirectly local region fund allocation, talent gathering, industrialization; (3) national has significant positive correlation. SDM-DID confirm policy produce spillover drive common advance neighboring regions. Therefore, resources environmental conditions each city are supposed be taken into full consideration theoretically. Furthermore, necessary promote by strengthening linkage production factors between different cities, so make meaningful contributions promoting China’s overall development.
