- Abstract
Current land use patterns with low-density, single-use, and leapfrogging urban growth on city outskirts call for more efficient land use development strategies balancing economy, environmental protection, and social equity. In this paper, we present a new spatial multiobjective optimization model with a constraint based on the level of neighborhood development density. The constraint encourages infill development and land use compatibility by requiring compact and contiguous land use allocation. The multiobjective optimization model presented in this paper minimizes the conflicting objectives of open space development, infill and redevelopment, land use neighborhood compatibility, and cost distance to already urbanized areas.
