Nefs, Merten (author)The spatial planning of logistics is an emerging topic due to scarcity of land, environmental impacts and the transition to a circular economy. This paper proposes a policy information tool for these issues, including a new logistics cluster typology applied in suitability maps. The validity and applicability of this tool are tested in a Dutch...journal article 2024

Carella, Fabio (author), De Martino, P. (author), Soffietti, Folco (author), Negretto, Vittore (author), Musco, Francesco (author)The Italian coast has about 700 ports, which are different in typology, dimension, role, and ownership. Historically, this has led to the significant fragmentation of governance and space and a lack of cooperation that ports and cities still experience today. Among all ports, small and medium-sized ports (SMPs), such as marinas, small...journal article 2024

Aquilué Junyent, Inés (author), Martí Casanovas, Miquel (author), Roukouni, A. (author), Moreno Sanz, Joan (author), Roca Blanch, Estanislao (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)In the move towards sustainable urban mobility through seamless intermodality, European cities are faced with the possibility of implementing shared mobility systems. They constitute an opportunity to create new urban hubs, considered as nodes of intermodality and places of urban intensity. In order to effectively plan the future locations of...journal article 2024

Tarrafa Silva, A. (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), Cunha Ferreira, Teresa (author), Nevzgodin, I. (author)The growing complexity of managing the sustainable development of cities stresses the need for interdisciplinary approaches, with a stronger articulation between different fields. The integration between heritage conservation and spatial planning has already been addressed in recent literature, ranging from a traditional sectorial perspective...journal article 2023

Wang, B. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Meng, Yanchun (author)With rapid high-speed railway (HSR) developments in China, HSR-based transit-oriented development (TOD) has proliferated across the country. Although local governments claim that HSR station areas are planned according to TOD principles, some scholars argue that these station areas actually contribute to unsustainable development. This study...journal article 2023

Koreman, M.C.J. (author), Korthals Altes, W.K. (author)Across the European Union, farm modernisation results in vacant farm buildings in agricultural areas. This is an issue at the crossroads of rural development and spatial planning. The debate often revolves around the options of either demolishing these buildings or re-using them for residential purposes. There is less emphasis, however, on re...journal article 2023

Ramirez Aranda, N.E. (author), De Waegemaeker, Jeroen (author), Van de Weghe, Nico (author)Over the last three decades, PPGIS practices have shifted from a paper to digital format and have become cheaper, more user-friendly, and more versatile. The literature recognizes the potential of PPGIS, but researchers also note that the impact of PPGIS in practice is not yet pronounced. This study seeks to identify the barriers that hinder...journal article 2023

van der Meulen, G.J.M. (author), Mishra, Gargi (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author), Iyer, Mona (author), Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author)In rapidly growing urban contexts, water plays a pivotal role in the transitions the urban environment goes through to sustain the quality of life of its population. Spatial planning and design are essential for the facilitation and manifestation of such transitions. Focusing on Bhuj, a rapidly growing Indian city in a hot arid desert climate,...journal article 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Newton, C.E.L. (author)Water, a vital element of human existence, shapes cities and benefits human health through daily exposure. This study delves into advanced digital methods to describe blue space exposure effectively, aiming to optimise spatial accessibility and visibility of water for designing sustainable healthy urban environments. Rotterdam is utilised as a...journal article 2023

Nefs, Merten (author), Zonneveld, W.A.M. (author), Gerretsen, Paul (author)Like other countries with large ports, the Netherlands developed a policy narrative to acquire a key position in global value chains starting in the 1980s, through the spatial development of its hinterland logistics complex. The negative environmental effects of logistics, such as landscape transformation and congestion, have increasingly come...journal article 2022

Hauser, S.J. (author), Zhu, P. (author)Since the development of the oil industry in the 1860s, petroleum products became increasingly important in economies and shaped the urban form. The impact of oil exploration, exploitation, and transformation led to the creation of districts and cities entirely dedicated to the oil industry. This dynamic relationship between economic activity...journal article 2022

Nefs, Merten (author), Daamen, T.A. (author)In Europe, very large distribution centres (XXL DCs) are increasingly appearing on planning agendas due to their growing spatial footprint and environmental impacts. Although the emergence of XXL DCs has gained traction in academic research, empirical knowledge about the process that leads to their oft-debated location choice, geometry and...journal article 2022

Hauser, S.J. (author), Aktürk, Gül (author)Port regions are hubs connecting a nation and its hinterland to the rest of the world. Port cities' authorities and actors have always dealt with pressures and compromises in the sharing of space between agriculture, tourism, industry, and urban developments. The limited availability of land created conflicting uses over time especially when...journal article 2022

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Xiong, L. (author), Stead, D. (author)Given the greater risk of flooding in cities due to climate change, spatial planning systems are increasingly expected to contribute to flood resilience. However, incorporating expanded adaption measures in conventional planning practices remains a major challenge due to institutional barriers. Based on the theories of historical...journal article 2022

Błasik, Magdalena (author), Wang, T. (author), Kazak, Jan K. (author)Sustainable development on a local scale requires well-functioning instruments in the spatial planning system. Any weakness in the planning system may result in forms of spatial development that are socially, environmentally or economically disadvantageous. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether master plans and land...journal article 2022

Tajuddin, N.A. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author)Addressing climate change adaptation in the cities of the Global South is crucial as they are the most at risk and, arguably, the least capable of coping with it due to their rapid expansion, informal development, and limited institutional capacity. This paper explores this challenge in the case of Chennai, India, a city which, in recent years,...journal article 2021

The concept has its origin in the United Kingdom but has also been used in other contexts. Within European Union policy-making, the term soft planning has emerged to describe the processes of cooperation and learning with an unclear...journal article 2021
