• Soil is a finite and non-renewable resource

Ecological soil valuation in urbanised areas
• (Peri-)urban: new context for soil formation & development
• Soil information in core urban areas missing or fragmented
• Knowledge base for ecological soil valuation (quantity and quality) absent

Monetary soil valuation in urbanised areas
• The ‘essentialness’ of soils (marginal value)
• Cost-benefit analysis – methodological limitations
• Project-level/site-specific versus regional-level valuation
• Limited evidence in urbanised areas (knowledge base)

Soil valuation – Implications for governance
• Soil protection instruments – public and private
• Mix of policy instruments recommended
Intervention Public/government Private
Instrument Regulatory Economic Awareness-raising
Price-based Market-based
Process to control external impacts Participation
Government enforces environmental law; command-and-control approach; Mandatory
Government provides incentives for
behavioural changes by modifying existing markets;
Voluntary
Government provides incentives for
behavioural changes by creating new markets;
Voluntary
Government raises awareness by
providing grants and credits (investment support) Voluntary
Private, self-motivated change of behaviour Voluntary
Examples Soil protection legislation
Subsidies; fiscal intervention (tax on use)
Tradable development rights; eco-labelling
Outreach and education; innovation
Adoption of sustainable soil management practices

Converting broad policy options into action
• Additional scope for recognition of soil in governance– Urban soil function maps as basis for integration in spatial
planning
– Green infrastructure: an appropriate intervention framework
– From linear to circular economy: soil as a resource versus soil as waste
– ...
