Abstract |
|
|
| This paper explores the intricate nature of population attraction and urban growth, which are influenced by a wide range of social, economic, and environmental factors. Through a case study of Almere, Netherlands, this study investigates the connection between population attraction, urban quality of life, livability, and sustainability. To assess the impact of these factors on urban growth, the study developed a measurable indicator matrix based on a theoretical framework. The study’s results demonstrate that social life, urban economy, population standards, ease of access to services, transportation, and the quality of the built environment are significant factors in population attraction and urban growth. Additionally, the study revealed some previously unconsidered factors that play a crucial role in sustaining population attraction and urban growth. The study’s findings offer insights for urban planners and policymakers to design effective strategies that promote population attraction and foster sustainable urban growth.
