Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to suggest that, in evaluating the relevance of sustaining the green belt, we must pay more attention to the fact that the green belt amenities can accelerate rather than decelerate the population growth of a city. For this, this paper analyzes the case where there exist green belt amenities and the demand for land function is almost linear. In this case, it can be shown that the green belt is ineffective in restricting the population growth in the long run.
