The Impact of Mixed Land Use on Residential Property Values (2012, positive): “…also argued that the benefits and costs of mixed use, as well as compact development have not been well understood (Jenks et al., 1996; Dieleman et al., 1999; Burton, 2000) In this paper, we contribute to the literature by investigating the willingness to pay (WTP) of homeowners for mixed land use.”
Urban Form and Social Sustainability: The Role of Density and Housing Type (2009, background): “…higher densities may make access to services and facilities both easier and more economically viable (Bunker, 1985; Burton, 2000b; Collie, 1990; Haughton and Hunter, 1994; ODPM, 2003), although this may vary between services and other issues (eg job access) (Burton, 2000a; 2000b; Williams, 2000).”
Exploring Social Sustainability: Learning from Perspectives on Urban Development and Companies and Products (2014, background): “In cities of western industrialized countries the sustainability agenda has been powerfully influenced by the compact cities' debate, which suggests that there is a strong link between urban form and sustainability (Haughton and Hunter 1994, Burton 2000, Hall 2001).”
The social dimension of sustainable development: Defining urban social sustainability (2011, background): “In terms of measuring social equity, accessibility is commonly cited as a fundamental measure (Barton, 2000a; Burton, 2000b).”
Reconfiguring Urban Sustainability Transitions, Analysing Multiplicity (2017, background): “city [87,88] but it is often seen as counter to problems created by urban sprawl and processes of suburbanization [87,89] and seeks to build more sustainable ways of organising cities.”
The scaling of green space coverage in European cities (2009, background): “While this slows the rate of land take, there is concern that the consequences of such compaction are too poorly understood to warrant this large-scale experiment (Burton 2000).”
