Land Use and Spatial Planning from a Sustainability Perspective: Designing the One-Minute City

Abstract

This PhD thesis by publication, comprising four journal papers and a book chapter, addresses the overarching research question of how sustainability features can increase the value of land in urban development. Using two case studies (in China and Australia), it offers insights from a sustainability perspective into land use and spatial planning within the wider notion of value creation. The key findings are the concept of the Minute City and the spatial logic behind it.
