摘 要:
Urban land is a fundamental but scarce resource that carries intensive human socio-economic activities. Thedemographic decline and housing vacancy issues that emerged with de-industrialization have raised concernsregarding the sustainable utilization of urban land resources, particularly in the American Rust Belt region. Inthis context, a comprehensive analysis of industrial land use can offer valuable insights to support the sustainableplanning of shrinking cities. However, existing urban land research exhibits insufficient resolution at the sectoralscale and impedes the evaluation of industrial land use efficiency within the urban context. To address this gap,we established an integrated land use estimation framework for economic sectors based on multi-source data,which enables the assessment of land use efficiency at a finer sectoral scale. The method was then applied to thecity of Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. The results demonstrate that the current industrial land mix in thethree cities is dominated by service-providing industries, but the land usage by goods-producing sectors in thesecities presents a relatively high level of efficiency. The Moran’s I value indicates a clustered tendency for themain economic sectors. The land use area results reveal that Other Services occupies the most land area in Detroit(2.29 million m~2) and Cleveland (2.04 million m~2). While in Pittsburgh, Professional Scientific and TechnicalServices (1.44 million m~2) is the largest. In terms of the economic output, Management of Companies and Enterprisesis the most efficient sector in Detroit (20.28 thousand $/m~2) and Cleveland (29.43 thousand $/m~2),while Pittsburgh’s Public Administration (11.73 thousand $/m~2) is the most efficient. As many other cities in theworld are about to enter the era of de-industrialization or low growth, the outcomes can also serve as a referenceto guide their sustainable revitalization in line with the SDGs.
