Impacts of new light rail investment on accessibility and housing markets
In 2018, Amsterdam introduced the North-South Line (NZL), a metro connecting the city’s north and south via its historic centre. Using a spatially adjusted difference-in-differences approach, combined with hedonic modelling for the relevant submarkets, this study estimates the effects of accessibility improvements, measured as the change in the number of jobs reachable within a 30-minute trip, on housing prices, rents, social housing queues and h…
Uncovering merging and joining as urban expansion processes
Urban expansion studies typically distinguish three main processes: infill, edge expansion, and outlying development. These general processes do not specifically capture another type of urban expansion: the clumping or coalescing of multiple individual urban areas (patches) into one larger urban agglomeration. This paper develops a new Urban Patch Expansion (UPE) framework that characterises coalescence as an urban expansion process that occurs s…
Modelling car dependence
This study investigates car dependence for short trips (travel time ≤ 15 min) using an integrated Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach applied to Dutch travel diary data (ODiN 2022). The observed outcome of the present study demonstrates that short trips are associated with lower car dependence (car ownership and frequency of car use), particularly for non-work destinations (e.…
What dominates the variation of ecosystem services across different urban expansion patterns?—Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta region, China
Urban densification in the Netherlands and its impact on mental health
Urban densification is a key strategy to accommodate rapid urban population growth, but emerging evidence suggests serious risks of urban densification for individuals' mental health. To better understand the complex pathways from urban densification to mental health, we integrated interdisciplinary expert knowledge in a causal loop diagram via group model building techniques. Six subsystems were identified: five subsystems describing mechanisms …
Spatial drivers of logistics development in the Netherlands
Empirical studies of logistics location choice have largely focused on logistics as a single sector. This research attempts to address this research gap by analysing the heterogeneity in locational preferences of logistics across facility types and sizes. We estimate a multinomial logistic regression model to study the relative impact of various spatial drivers on logistics development in the Netherlands. We explicitly assess the role of a govern…
The increasing value of urban parks in a growing metropole
Urban parks and public open spaces enhance the quality of life for citizens by offering many different services. This is especially important in growing metropoles, where green space is ever scarcer. We assess the impact of park proximity on house prices, paying specific attention to the impact of park size, the role of other green and blue spaces as possible substitutes, and changes in valuation over time. The study relies on an extensive databa…
An integrated global model of local urban development and population change
High resolution models are essential to assess the localised impacts of global environmental change. To enable the estimation of the impacts of location-specific change, this paper presents a new modelling approach that disaggregates scenario-based national-level urban population estimates derived from the often-applied Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) to high-resolution spatial grid (30 arc sec) representations of urban area and local popula…
The Impact of Road Development on Household Welfare in Rural Papua New Guinea
In this paper we evaluate the impact of road development on household welfare in rural Papua New Guinea (PNG) between 1996 and 2010, using two geocoded cross-sectional national household surveys and corresponding road maps. We make use of time-variation in road surface type and condition as recorded in PNG’s National Road Asset Management System, focusing on routes that connect rural households to urban areas. To tackle endogenous placement of ro…
Highway expansion and urban sprawl in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area
Valuing the effect of land use change on landscape services on the urban–rural fringe
The urban–rural fringe is a dynamic environment where urban expansion limits the provision of landscape services. Economic valuation of these services is proposed to quantify the impact of urbanisation and inform planners of the potential losses that attribute to these land-use changes. However, most evaluation methods remain controversial regarding shortcomings in providing reliable results. This study applies market price, contingent valuation …
The attraction of urban cores
Urban growth is typically considered a process of expansion. As population grows and transport costs decrease urban density gradients are expected to gradually flatten. This is a basic feature of cities, explained by urban economic models and empirically supported by a plethora of studies about urban density development from all over the world. However, additional forces, such as changes in demographic composition and locational preferences of th…
The impact of urban form on commuting in large Chinese cities
Studies on cities in Europe and the United States have demonstrated that travel behaviour is influenced by urban form. Based on these findings policies steering the shape of cities have been proposed to reduce urban transport emissions and limit congestion. Such policies can also be relevant for the rapidly growing and motorising Chinese cities. Yet, empirical evidence on the relationships between urban form and car usage is scarce for the specif…
Simulating past land use patterns; The impact of the Romans on the Lower-Rhine delta in the first century AD
Population growth, accessibility spillovers and persistent borders
Lack of cross-border transport supply has repeatedly been blamed for the fact that national borders limit spatial interaction and, consequently, the growth of border regions. This study applies an accessibility approach to investigate for most municipalities in ten countries in mainland West Europe if foreign transport supply is lagging behind, and if population growth in these municipalities has been affected by the limits that national borders …
Residential density change
Evaluating the Impact of Land-Use Density and Mix on Spatiotemporal Urban Activity Patterns
Dense and mixed land-use configurations are assumed to encourage high and prolonged activity levels, which in turn are considered to be important for the condition of urban neighbourhoods. We used mobile phone usage data recorded in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as a proxy for urban activity to test whether the density in different forms of urban land use increases the level of activity in urban areas, and whether mixed land uses can prolong high l…
Land-Use Change in Portugal, 1990–2006
This article studies the processes of land-use change in Portugal between 1990 and 2006 and analyses the effects of different driving forces in shaping land-use patterns during that period. While urbanization and the abandonment of agricultural land were the most prevalent processes between 1990 and 2000, concurrent processes of land abandonment and agriculture intensification seem to have predominated in recent years. Nevertheless, annual rates …

Analysing the Rural Vitality Argument for Residential Development
In the heated debate on new residential development in the countryside, rural vitality is used in three different discourses: the agri‐rural, utilitarian and hedonist. Discussions on the future of the Dutch countryside in general and a designated National Landscape north of Amsterdam in particular illustrate how the term rural vitality, depending on the discourse, is used to either support or oppose residential development. As in the region studi…

Open-space preservation in the Netherlands
Analysing the Success of Open Space Preservation in the Netherlands
Open space preservation is an important aim of spatial planning. In the Netherlands, the recreational, ecological and historic values of open spaces between cities, the buffer zones, are recognised and thus receive ample attention from policy‐makers. This paper focuses on Midden‐Delfland, an open area in the metropolitan western part of the country. A specific combination of policy instruments and government regulation has made the preservation o…
Simulating the Future of Agricultural Land Use in the Netherlands
The agricultural sector in the Netherlands has lost much of its importance over the last 50 years in terms of the number of people involved and its relative contribution to the economy – even though production is still increasing. Yet, the area under agricultural use has changed relatively little: farmland still dominates the country. The question for the future is how expected further changes in agriculture will affect agricultural land use: how…
