Summary: Based on an analysis of property transaction data in Chengdu, this study finds that the implicit price of metro accessibility decreases during COVID-19, indicating a decline in the role of the metro and a smaller price gap between proximate and distant properties. However, COVID-19 does not have a negative impact on property prices in Chengdu, and the decrease in metro access premiums may be temporary.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of scattered greenery (street trees and yard bushes), rather than cohesive greenery (parks and forests), on housing prices. Scattered urban greenery within 100 m significantly increases housing prices, while more distant scattered greenery does not. There is significant heterogeneity in urban greenery preferences by property characteristics and location, which could lead to environmental gentrification with more expensive properties increasing in areas with more green amenities.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial effect of public service accessibility on housing prices and proposes a new methodological framework to understand housing equity issues. The results show that public service facilities have a capitalisation effect on housing prices, and larger facilities have a more significant clustering effect. The spatial association detector model has a greater explanatory power than the geographical detector model and can identify the driving factors of housing prices. This study provides valuable insights for urban environmental planning and local real estate planning.

Summary: Using CRP land for energy crop production can lower program costs, increase landowner returns, and displace greenhouse gas emissions. Conversion of CRP land to energy crops can result in savings in emissions, increase soil carbon sequestration, and offset soil carbon debt through reduction in fossil fuel emissions. The net benefits from producing energy crops on CRP land could be significant, especially if biomass prices are favorable and land rental payments are reduced.

Summary: The study found that introducing perennial energy crops can reduce nitrogen loss and improve water quality, but the extent of these benefits depends on the incentives for different biomass feedstocks and the displacement of nitrogen-intensive row crops. The research suggests that targeted incentives are needed to reduce nitrogen loss in order to help achieve the goal of reducing nitrogen losses.

Summary: Marginal land is being explored as a potential source of bioenergy feedstocks, but there is a lack of consensus on its definition and classification. The concept of socially marginal land, which accounts for economic returns and environmental costs, has been proposed to categorize land suitable for bioenergy crops. Spatial and temporal factors such as climate, market conditions, and policy incentives play a crucial role in determining the suitability of land for bioenergy crop production.

Summary: This study contributes to current research by providing a longitudinal analysis of factors related to vehicle ownership dynamics among older adults. The findings show that factors such as loss of partner or divorce, reduced income, age, and being headed by Hispanics are related to decreased vehicle ownership. Additionally, it is found that female older adults living alone are more likely to live in zero-vehicle households. The study suggests that policymakers should consider providing additional support, such as alternative transportation modes, for older adults when owning and using vehicles is temporarily or permanently impossible.

Summary: With the increasing number of older people, vehicle dependence in countries like the U.S. poses challenges for transportation planning, affecting the environment, safety, and equity. It also hinders the participation of those with limited ability to drive in social activities. Additionally, the age-based digital divide weakens the potential of transportation and information technologies in reducing travel difficulties for older people. This paper provides an agenda for sustainable and equitable transportation through various modes and interagency coordination.

Summary: This paper applies multinomial logit models to examine the relationship between metropolitan urban form, housing type, socioeconomic factors, and individuals' commute mode choice for low-income workers in the USA and Mexico. The study finds common relationships on each side of the border, despite socioeconomic and urban differences, but also significant differences in the associations between predictor variables and commuter mode choice. The findings suggest that policies to reduce driving or promote compact development are more likely to be effective and pro-poor in Mexico compared to the USA, where high rates of driving and auto-oriented urban form make such policies regressive.
