• Evaluating land policy outcomes in emerging built urban form. A covariational geospatial approach (2026) · Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science · doi

  While many national governments implement land policies to pursue specific objectives, the actual outcomes in built urban form often remain scarcely evaluated, thus challenging the effectiveness and legitimacy of these policies in pursuit of urban sustainability objectives.
