Owing to the increased associations between land use patterns and economic, social, and environmental systems in metropolitan areas, the exploration of the impacts of land use is of great importance for more efficient land use in spatial planning and policy-making. This reprint contains mainly empirical studies focusing on the effects of land use attributes on a series of socioeconomic and environmental indicators, such as gross domestic product, entrepreneurship, housing prices, street-level pedestrian volume, carbon storage and emission, and microplastic concentrations. New data such as mobile phone signaling data and new approaches such as spatial interaction modeling are applied in the studies included in this reprint to describe land use patterns and the impacts of land use.
