Adaptive Planning in China: Research Progress, Implementation Effectiveness, and Future Prospects Based on Knowledge Mapping and Meta-Analysis
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024Adaptive planning aids in addressing nonlinear urban changes through dynamic adjustments. This study employs knowledge mapping and meta-analysis methods to examine the progress and effectiveness of adaptive planning research in China over the past two decades. The results indicate that China has focused on the application of adaptive planning in environmental areas, gradually expanding to territorial spatial planning. Key areas of focus include ecological protection, urban renewal, and transportation development. The overall effectiveness of adaptive planning implementation in China has been positive, though attention is needed on developing multiple alternative plans, enhancing community participation, and increasing long-term investment in adaptive processes. This study identifies adaptive issues and response strategies within the Chinese planning context, aiming to enrich the global research system of adaptive planning.

Core-periphery Industrial Linkages of the Metropolitan Area from the Perspective of Enterprise Linkages: The Case of Three Cities Adjacent to Shanghai
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024To explore how cross-border industrial linkages are constructed between the centre and peripheral cities of the metropolitan area, this study takes the perspective of enterprise linkages and selects three county- level cities which are adjacent to Shanghai, as cases. First, city networks in the Shanghai metropolitan area are built using enterprise headquarter-branch linkage data; then, the descriptive statistical analysis is conducted based on enterprise questionnaires. The results show that from 2001 to 2018, enterprise linkages between Shanghai and its surrounding county-level cities increased significantly. The market forces in the industrial linkages between the three cities and Shanghai have somewhat transcended administrative barriers, which is the result of enterprises' 'voting with their feet'. The key reason why enterprises are located in these three cities is that they are close to Shanghai for access to productive services, technology, labour, information and other resources while enjoying the lower rent and preferential policies of the local industrial parks.

Dispersed Urban Spatial Structure and Increased Urban Greenness Could Reduce Intra-City Health inequalities in England
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024The persistence of socioeconomic health inequalities has garnered substantial attention, and a few researchers have explored the impact of neighborhood greenness on mitigating it. However, it remains unclear whether comprehensive planning can address this issue. In this study, we evaluated intra-city health inequality in 105 cities in England and examined the impact of urban spatial structure (measured by dispersion) on it, with adjustment for city size, population density, urban greenness, development level, income gap, and aging. Results revealed that the dispersion of urban population (β=-0.179, p=0.043) and urban greenness (β=-0.147, p=0.087) exhibited significant negative relationships with intra-city health inequalities, while the income gap showed a significantly positive relationship ( β =0.500,, p00.001). These findings underscore the critical role of city comprehensive planning in mitigating health inequalities.

Utopias as a design-thinking key for counter-hegemonic ecological transitions
No full textGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024Present times are marked by structural crises and social alternatives appear increasingly implausible. Planetary urbanisation intertwines global society and ecosystems amidst social, ecological and rational crises accounting for unprecedented challenges. Discourses shift from reform versus revolution to ecological transition and resilience approaches within a scenario of turmoil. A workshop taking place in Goias City, Brazil, employed 'utopias' as lens and delved into counter-hegemonic urban ecological relationships. Concepts, such as Neoliberal contradictions, Decolonial approaches, Coexistence, Ethics of Care, Mobility of frontiers and Co-poiesis of Nature were assessed and led to three dialectical utopias — Queer planet, Matriarchal Society and Afrofuturism. Design thinking was used to envision alternative futures by integrating these concepts to utopian experiments addressing contemporary contradictions and societal trends.

Research on the Protection and Development of Industrial Heritage in China and Europe under the Background of Urban Renewal—The Case of Hanyeping Company
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024As the first steel and coal joint venture in modern China to use advanced machinery and equipment for large-scale production, Hanyeping Company is an important practical case for scientific and technological exchanges between China and Europe. Based on the research on the construction of industrial heritage systems in China and Europe, the paper sorts out the historical development background and actual protection situation of the Company, and analyzes the intrinsic connections and shared values of industrial heritage in time, space, function and cultural dimensions. It is of fundamental guiding significance for the renewal and development of China's industrial cities, and has important reference value for promoting the construction of a systematic and holistic protection and utilization system for world industrial heritage.

Analytical study of hospitality culture and urban identity and its impact on the future of marine tourism in Red Sea coastal port cities: case study of Jeddah Saudi Arabia
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024This paper discusses the oldest and most important port city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia focusing on the impact of modernity on development that occurred in the architectural and urban spaces in contemporary passenger ports in the city and their historical comparators. Contemporary passenger ports in the city are supposed to reflect the identity and spatial, cultural, and social heritage of the port cities in the Kingdom. The passengers’ experience and view of the culture and identity of these port cities is discussed within the context of the non-place theory (Auge, 2010). This paper will present a comparative study method based on literature review and personal interviews of cruise visitors’ experiences, evidenced and measured through different taxonomies (envelops). The study particularly focuses on the forms of architectural building space and the users understanding and interpretation of these spaces created during the arrival, visiting and departure process, resulting in a critique and dialogue between past rituals, culture, and future aspirations.

Study on Spatial Distribution of Fresh Supermarket Based on Street View Data
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024People's demand for fresh agricultural products of fruits and vegetables is absolute, and the demand for fruits and vegetables is also continuous and regular. The outbreak of COVID-19 has increased people's requirements for food safety. At the same time, the emergence of the digital economy has gradually increased the number of take-out shopping methods that reduce contact with people. Based on open data such as Baidu map and Dianping combined with field research, this paper analyzes the distribution and use of fresh supermarket before and after the epidemic. The results showed that the epidemic further reduced the service radius of fresh supermarkets and reduced the accessibility of the roads where the stores were located. However, regional fresh markets with different online degrees have different degrees of change. Under the influence of the epidemic, fresh markets that are easier to reach and have distribution services have developed more strongly, thus distinguishing the distribution pattern of fresh stores in different regions. To a certain extent, Internet services have given stores stronger stability, and areas with perfect online development have been developed after the epidemic, and store location distribution is more closely related to geographical factors.

Renewing the city towards a linear attractors frame. Fuor cases in Iraq
Full text linkGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024The article discusses Iraq's historical cities facing challenges of reconstruction amidst large-scale destructions, emphasising the complexity of contemporary urban redevelopment, exacerbated by climate change. It proposes a replicable planning approach employing adaptable modelling strategies tailored to each city's needs, allowing for independent implementation by local administrations. The progressive strategy, adaptable to specific characteristics, uses tools like linear attractors and matrices. These tools facilitate the design of repeatable solutions and rule-based urban transformations, ensuring a balance between public-private spaces and green areas. The approach aims to create resilient, climate-responsive urban environments, tested in four northern Iraqi cities, to foster positive transformations and mitigate climate impacts. Ultimately, the proposed scenario seeks to cultivate urban environments that thrive amidst evolving climate conditions while ensuring community well-being.published versio
Response to urban waterlogging control under different topographic conditions
No full textGame changer? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024In recent years, the acceleration of urbanization and the occurrence of intense rainfall have led to urban waterlogging, resulting in property damage and threats to human life. The development of flood resilient infrastructure systems is therefore crucial. However, achieving this goal can be challenging in high-density urban areas due to land resource constraints. This study proposes a framework based on local human wisdom that can withstand, absorb and recover from floods in a timely manner to enhance flood resilience in the urban design process. In this study, we analyzed the hydrological characteristics of Zhengzhou City and constructed a rainfall and flood security pattern using GIS and hydrological models. Corresponding bluegreen solutions were determined for different topographic conditions. Finally, a macro-scale rainfall and flood mitigation program was designed and its effectiveness was evaluated using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). The results show that the Blue-Green program created 40,000 cubic meters of rainwater storage, resulting in significant economic benefits for the community. This approach can improve the flood resilience of inland cities, particularly in response to heavy rainfall and river flooding.
