Dynamics of Urban Sprawl, Vacant Land, and Green Spaces on the Metropolitan Fringe of São Paulo, Brazil
TLDR
Since the 1950s, Brazilian cities have experienced intense growth because of the country's industrialization, and from 2001 policies aimed at the prevention of disordered urban development were introduced as discussed by the authors.Abstract:

A Global Geospatial Ecosystem Services Estimate of Urban Agriculture
Nicholas Clinton,Nicholas Clinton,Michelle Stuhlmacher,Albie Miles,Albie Miles,Nazli Uludere Aragon,Melissa Wagner,Matei Georgescu,Chris Herwig,Peng Gong,Peng Gong +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a quantitative framework to assess global aggregate ecosystem services from existing vegetation in cities and an intensive urban agriculture adoption scenario based on data-driven estimates of urban morphology and vacant land.

Athanasios Alexandru Gavrilidis,Mihai Răzvan Niță,Diana Andreea Onose,Denisa L. Badiu,Irina Iulia Năstase +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodological framework for urban green space planning in the context of urban sprawl in the cities of Bucharest and Ploiesti, Romania.

Vegetation cover change in growing urban agglomerations in Chile
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the changes in vegetation cover as a proxy of the success of urban planning in the creation or conservation of elements able to provide ecosystem services to citizens and therefore strengthening urban sustainability.

Four decades of urban sprawl and population growth in Teresina, Brazil
TL;DR: The urban sprawl of Teresina, the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Piaui as mentioned in this paper, has been studied over the last four decades (1974-2014), associating its trends of urban expansion and population growth with their social and environmental implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is urban sprawl linked to green space availability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the linkages between urban sprawl and green space availability within three concentric zones of the city of Lodz, and found that the highest UGS availability in the peripheral zone was linked to an increase in the number of residents between 2000 and 2015.

Urban greening to cool towns and cities: a systematic review of the empirical evidence.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used systematic review methodology to evaluate available evidence on whether greening interventions, such as tree planting or the creation of parks or green roofs, affect the air temperature of an urban area.

Spatial landscape indices in a hedonic framework: an ecological economics analysis using GIS
TL;DR: In this paper, a spatial hedonic model was developed to explain residential values in a region within a 30-mile radius of Washington DC, and the model captured how individuals value the diversity and fragmentation of land uses around their homes.

The value of trees, water and open space as reflected by house prices in the Netherlands
TL;DR: The largest increases in house prices due to environmental factors are found for houses with a garden facing water, which is connected to a sizeable lake, and attractive landscape types were shown to attract a premium over less attractive environmental settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring and modelling of urban sprawl using remote sensing and GIS techniques
TL;DR: Urban sprawl of the Ajmer city has been studied at a mid scale level, over a period of 25 years, to extract the information related to sprawl, area of impervious surfaces and their spatial and temporal variability.

A hedonic valuation of urban green areas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the link between housing prices and urban green areas endowments using the hedonic technique as methodological approach and found that there is an inverse relationship between the selling price of the dwelling and its distance from a green urban area.
