“…We are cognizant of alternative takes on the elusiveness of this research issue, which are rather tailored to novel analytical methods [24][25][26], and we deem it promising that in certain respects our findings resonate with the reflections offered in these related bodies of literature [14].…”

“…It has indeed been noted that the sheer combination of alternative definitions (land take, soil sealing, land free for development) and analytical methods (automatic classification of high resolution satellite imagery, interpretation of orto-photographs, statistical surveys, and land registries) is bringing about such a great ambiguity that coherent monitoring and evaluation processes at EU level might be jeopardized [14].…”

Abstract.The interplay between land take and climate change is reviving the debate on the environmental impacts of urbanization. Monitoring and evaluation of land-cover and land-use changes have secured political commitment worldwide, and in the European Union in particular -following the agreement on a "no net land take by 2050" target. This paper addresses the ensuing challenges by investigating how open data services and spatial indicators may help manage urban sprawl more effectively. Experts, scholars, students and local government officials were engaged in a living lab exercise centered around the uptake of geospatial data in planning, policy making and design processes. Main findings point to a great potential, and pressing need, for open spatial data services in mainstreaming sustainable land use practices. However, urban sprawl's elusiveness calls for interactive approaches, since the actual usability of proposed tools needs to be carefully investigated and planned for.

“…This existing construction becomes especially of interest now cities in the Netherlands such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam, have adopted policies to maintain development within existing urban borders and to focus on densification through urban renewal and brownfield development (Municipality Amsterdam 2011;Municipality Rotterdam 2007). Urban renewal is in accord with the concept of Zero-Land-Take (Decoville and Schneider 2016) where it is confined to existing urban areas or brownfields. The latter are defined as:…”

The subsurface is a technical space, the "engine room of the city, " that incorporates the vital functions of water and energy supply, communication systems, sewers and drainage. Natural systems too -crucial for stable, dry, cool and nature inclusive cities -are also largely dependent on the quality of the subsoil. The subsurface is critical in an era of climate and demographic changes, the energy transition and economic uncertainty and constraints. However, due to the domain's current segregation and a weak urban design and planning connection, crucial design potential, benefits and innovations, remain unexploited. This paper first introduces an innovative systems approach, the System Exploration Environment and Subsurface (SEES), to recognise the subsurface as an "underarching" domain for urban planning and design. The physical impact of the subsurface on the surface quality is described for the categories: civil constructions, water, energy and soil/ecology. After setting understanding of the surface and subsurface as one united space, the paper will go into using the SEES as knowledge brokerage tool, integrating the subsurface artefacts into the design process and how the concept of Reversed Engineering with Nature is useful to uncover synergies between subsurface technologies, new urban maintenance regimes and scripts for design.

“…However, on a national or regional level, they are not suitable for a high-resolution and area-covering monitoring of land use. A comparative study that analyzed different datasets regarding their potential of monitoring land use change revealed significant differences in their suitability for regional and national land take measurements [20].…”

Abstract:The implementation of sustainable land policies is in need of monitoring methods that go beyond a mere description of the proportion values of land use classes. The annual statistical surface area report on actual land utilization (German: "Bodenfläche nach Art der tatsächlichen Nutzung"), published by the statistical offices of the German federal states and the federation, provides information on a set of pre-defined land use classes for municipalities, districts and federal states. Due to its surveying method of summing up usage information from cadastral registers, it is not possible to determine previous and subsequent usages of land parcels. Hence, it is hard to precisely indicate to what extent particular land use classes contribute to the settlement area increase. Nevertheless, this information is crucial to the understanding of land use change processes, which is needed for a subsequent identification of driving forces. To overcome this lack of information, a method for the spatial and quantitative determination of previous and subsequent land usages has been developed, implemented and tested. It is based on pre-processed land use data for different time slices, which are derived from authoritative geo-topographical base data. The developed method allows for the identification of land use changes considering small geometric shifts and changes in the underlying data model, which can be adaptively excluded from the balance.
