UGSs provide a variety of ecosystem services that are essential for human health, wellbeing, and the overall sustainability of urban environments including, but not limited to, air and water purification, climate regulation, pollination, flood prevention, leisure and recreation, and biodiversity conservation. There is a growing interest in incorporating the concept of ecosystem services into urban planning frameworks to ensure that green spaces are designed and managed in a way that maximizes their benefits to society. This involves identifying trade-offs between different land use options and designing urban landscapes that are both functional and resilient. Developing effective planning tools and techniques that can help identify priority areas for conservation and restoration of UGSs in a manner that is based on their ecosystem service potential is a key research area. It is also vital to understand how the public values and uses UGSs. This involves studying public preferences, perceptions, and behaviors related to ecosystem services to ensure that planning initiatives are responsive to community needs. From a macro point of view, it is also worth exploring the effects of urbanization on the supply of and demand for ecosystem services.</p> <p>In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, and research areas may include, but are not limited to:</p> <ul> <li>Valuation methods for quantifying ecosystem services in urban areas;</li> <li>Spatiotemporal variation characteristics of ecosystem services in urban areas;</li> <li>The trade-off–synergy relationship between ecosystem services provided by USGs;</li> <li>Habitat fragmentation, connectivity, and their impacts on ecological processes;</li> <li>Supply-demand matches and mismatches of ecosystem services;</li> <li>The relationship between ecosystem services and human wellbeing;</li> <li>The spatial optimization of USGs.</li> </ul> <p>We look forward to receiving your contributions.</p> <p>Dr. Wei Hou<br />Dr. Chunxiao Zhang<br />Dr. Cheng Li<br /><em>Guest Editors</em></p> <p><p><strong>Manuscript Submission Information</strong><p> <p>Manuscripts should be submitted online at <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/">www.mdpi.com</a> by <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/register/">registering</a> and <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/login/">logging in to this website</a>.

Conversely, if urban expansion outpaces population needs, it can lead to underutilized infrastructure and inefficient land use. This study aims to assess the coordination between urban livability and population distribution in five major urban agglomerations in China: Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), Pearl River Delta (PRD), Mid-Yangtze River (MYR), and Chengdu–Chongqing (CC). A comprehensive index for urban livability is established, from the aspects of social–economic development and ecosystem service. Additionally, a Coordination Distance Index (<i>CDI</i>) is developed to measure the relationship between urban livability and population distribution. Data from 2010, 2015, and 2020 are analyzed to evaluate the coordination levels and trends across the five urban agglomerations. The results show that from 2010 to 2020, most cities within these urban agglomerations experience improvements in their coordination levels, with the most notable advancements in the PRD and YRD regions. By 2020, the PRD and YRD were classified as having “high coordination”, while BTH, MYR, and CC were categorized as having “moderate coordination”. However, certain cities, such as Chengde in BTH, Shanghai in YRD, Ya’an in CC, and Zhuhai in PRD, still exhibited “low coordination”, highlighting areas requiring spatial planning adjustments. This study introduces a method for quantitatively assessing the coordination between urban livability and population distribution, providing essential insights for policymakers and urban planners to refine urbanization development strategies and population regulation policies in China’s major urban agglomerations. <a href="/2071-1050/16/23/10438">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/sustainability/special_issues/3W4171G383 ">Ecosystem Services in the Planning and Sustainable Development of Urban Green Spaces</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/16/23/10438/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1532004"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1532004"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1532004" data-cycle-prev="#prev1532004" data-cycle-progressive="#images1532004" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1532004-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g001-550.jpg?1732795504" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1532004" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1532004-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g002-550.jpg?1732795506'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1532004-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g003-550.jpg?1732795510'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1532004-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g004-550.jpg?1732795511'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1532004-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g005-550.jpg?1732795512'><p>Figure 5</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1532004-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g001-550.jpg?1732795504" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Locations of the five national urban agglomerations.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2071-1050/16/23/10438'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sustainability/sustainability-16-10438/article_deploy/html/images/sustainability-16-10438-g002-550.jpg?1732795506" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Scatter plots based on the standardized value of <span class="html-italic">ULI</span> and <span class="html-italic">POP</span> for each urban agglomeration in 2010, 2015, and 2020.
