“…However, its urbanizationsteering potential depends on the complex relation between car and public transport use. Overall, transport taxes might lead to sprawl while public transport subsidies might encourage compactness [8], [10].…”

“…Moreover, Mendonça et al [8] demonstrated that economic instruments, such as land and property taxes as well as public transport subsidies, have the potential to curb urban sprawl, gentrification and work alongside amenities. Land, property and transport taxes and subsidies have also been considered effective anti-sprawl policies by other authors [10], [14]. Several other authors demonstrate the crucial role that information instruments have in NBS implementation and sustainability promotion [34], [39], [40].…”

“…Unplanned urbanization leads to scattered, low density, discontinuous, leapfrog development, named urban sprawl. This phenomenon is the outcome of individual cumulative decisions involved in land use development, as citizens wish to improve their residential location and property size as well as proximity to urban centres and environmental amenities subject to land availability, income, housing and commuting costs [8]- [10]. Urban sprawl is associated with excessive land and resources consumption, air and water pollution, soil erosion, global warming, loss of natural green space, environmental degradation, biodiversity decline, excessive car use, weakened economies, services provision hampering, health problems, housing shortage, income inequality, segregation and polarization -thus decreasing urban resilience to climate change [11]- [13].…”

Urban challenges, such as climate change, economic development and land conversion, are increasing and attracting more attention, consequently widening the complexity of urban planning and decisionmaking processes. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are considered to contribute to resolving these emerging urban problems. While models are available to assess the impacts of NBS on urban heat, air quality, flooding and water quality, there are few models that evaluate their socio-economic impacts. Even though statistical models could provide insight in their actual (ex-post) socio-economic impacts, simulation models represent a key tool to urban planning as they provide the opportunity to assess the expected (ex-ante) socio-economic impacts of NBS and, thus, allow better informed decision making before implementation. This paper provides, first, a review of socio-economic models that can assess the impact of NBS (either statistical or simulation) and, second, a review of socio-economic models that assess the effectiveness of policy instruments to steer urban development patterns. Results show that there is a lack of spatially explicit simulation models with the ability to assess the socio-economic impacts of different NBS. Most models that assess socio-economic impacts include statistical (expost), non-spatially explicit or use non-European case studies. Socio-economic impacts evaluated include urban sprawl, housing prices and gentrification. Furthermore, there is a lack of models that have the potential to assess socio-economic impacts of NBS as well as the impact of policy instruments that influence urban development patterns. Hence, it is concluded that there is need for simulation models that allow to assess the expected (ex-ante) socio-economic impacts of NBS as well as the effectiveness of land use policy instruments.

The urban spatial structure change caused by urban expansion is the most intuitive manifestation of urbanization in space. In this study, Landsat TM remote sensing image maps from 2000, 2010, and 2017 were used as the main data sources. A combination of supervised classification and manual visual interpretation was used to extract the current distribution maps of the three impermeable surfaces in Urumqi Based on the dynamic changes from 2000 to 2010 and 2000 to 2017, the changes in Urumqi’s built-up areas from 2000 to 2017 were analyzed, and the characteristics and causes of urban expansion in Urumqi were analyzed. The results show that the interior of Urumqi city tends to be saturated. Due to the limitation of topographical factors outside the urban area, the overall urban form is axially distributed in a diagonal “T” shape. From 2000 to 2010, the area increased from 163.31km2 to 332.66km2, with a net increase of 169.35km2. The average annual growth rate was 10.37%, and from 2010 to 2017, the area increased to 434.02km2, a net increase of 101.36km2, the average annual growth rate was 3.05%. The average annual growth rate from 2000 to 2010 was greater than 2010 to 2017; Comparing the area and changes of various jurisdictions, the development advantages of the new urban area are obvious. From 2000 to 2010, the development advantages of the new urban area are obvious. From 2000 to 2010, the development advantages of the new urban area were obvious. Midong District and Toutunhe District developed rapidly, while Shaibak District had the fastest growth.
