Urban open spaces such as parks, open squares, parkways, etc, are considered as amenity resources or local public goods and incorporated into neoclassical urban land-use theory. Models characterizing Pareto efficient allocations and competitive equilibrium allocations with open space are presented.

Monitoring of green, open and sealed urban space

2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017
In recent decades, urban sprawl became a serious European-wide problem, not only due to total land taken, but also due to its spatial distribution patterns and quality of the land consumed. Land use efficiency is becoming a prime political objective at both European and city level, and the EU Land Communication aims to establish “zero net land take ...

Open Spaces as an Urban System

2020
According to a 2018 United Nations report, by 2050, more than 7.7 billion people will be living in urban areas. One can predict that this rapid rate of urbanization, if uncontrolled, will reduce the quality of open spaces in cities. In response to the dilemmas posed by these forces, this chapter explores the urban design concepts which will comprise ...

Treating open space as an urban amenity

Resource and Energy Economics, 2002
Abstract In “the welfare economics of city bigness”, George Tolley asserts that the virtual price of amenities can be used to judge the efficiency of a urban spatial land use patterns. Expanding this test to open space amenities is not straightforward because those amenities are especially difficult to characterize. Bockstael and Irwin [Economics and

There is enormous interest in urban design and the regeneration of our urban areas, but current thinking often concentrates on the built form, forgetting the important role that open spaces play. Urban Open Spaces brings together extensive research and practical experience to prove the opportunities and benefits of different types of open space to ...
