Dr. Runsen Zhang and co-authors published a paper in Sustainable Futures titled “Optimizing land use for carbon neutrality: A scenario analysis in the Jakarta metropolitan area”.

This paper develops a spatially explicit land use optimization model that integrates mixed-integer programming, discrete choice models, and cellular automata under CO₂ emission constraints. Scenario analyses for the Jakarta metropolitan area demonstrate how alternative development pathways lead to markedly different land-use structures and emission outcomes.
