Content: In addition to this, the urban heat island effect is likely to strengthen more common temperature extremes in urban environments if the average temperatures change in the future. According to the results obtained for the city of Manchester, even a 10% increment in the green space would balance the worst-case temperature scenario by 2080. A judicious discussion of the view encouraged by the European Commission policy on urban planning and sustainability is thus required. New concepts need to be brought in for making compact cities more attractive so that residents who leave the compact cities for living in better environments in the urban fringe can be stopped. The main plan is to deal with suburbanization processes by improving the city and quality of life to keep the residents in the city center. View chapter Purchase book

21.5.2.3 Urban growth boundaries
It is well known that UGBs can raise housing prices by restricting the amount of land available for development (see Brueckner, 2001; Cheshire and Sheppard, 2002 ). UGBs are present in the developed world, but the urbanization process in some developing countries, notably in South Korea in past years, has been affected by their presence. Because cities constrained by UGBs differ from non-UGB cities in a host of other ways (including the presence of additional land-use restrictions), it is difficult to use cross-sectional regression analysis to isolate the impact of a UGB on variables such as housing prices.
