“…By analyzing the complete text of the selected articles, we summarized the publications that may help in policy implementation for the development of emerging bay areas. As the technical arguments in applied science publications related to bay areas exhibited reduced linkage with policy and urban development (e.g., Miyake et al, 1961;Sandberg et al, 1970;Mito et al, 2021;Arnold, 2022), we excluded studies on the environmental and ecosystem aspects of the bay areas.
