Abstract
Urban expansion often leads to rising land values, making green infrastructure an increasingly expensive investment. Land Value Capture (LVC) provides a financial mechanism to recover and reinvest a portion of these increased values into urban development projects. While LVC has been extensively used to fund infrastructure and transit-oriented developments, its potential for financing biophilic spatial planning remains underexplored. This study examines the LVC mechanisms implemented in São Paulo, Hong Kong, and Singapore to determine their applicability in fostering biophilic urbanism in Tilburg, Netherlands. Through comparative case study analysis, document review, and semi-structured interviews with urban planners and policymakers, the research evaluates the efficiency and adaptability of LVC models for supporting nature-integrated urban planning. The study identifies key regulatory frameworks and policy instruments that could be leveraged to finance green infrastructure, biodiversity-friendly zoning, and nature-based urban development in Tilburg. By integrating insights from diverse urban contexts, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable city planning, offering a replicable framework for financing nature-inclusive urban transformations.
