With the rapid expansion of the city in China, more and more old industrial buildings in cities become idle and abandoned. However, Old industrial buildings are carrying the history of a city and reflecting the urban development process so that renewal of the old industrial buildings has great value in the sense of cultural, aesthetic, ecological, economic, and sustainable development. How to reuse those buildings is worth studying. This paper, based on the principle of Adaptive Renewal and sustainable reuse, takes two typical successful cases to discuss how to reuse these old industrial buildings into culture ones in China.

The paper investigates the urban form transformations of Chinese cities in the past three decades. Through literature review, it explores the forces of these urban form transformations. The research identifies that despite the substantial body of literature that sheds light on China’s economic reform and urban development, understanding of the development process remains vague.

In process of urban development, the various participants carry out development activities with their own goals, often caused urban development faced with complex and difficult situation. The public sector and private developers couldn’t accurately recognize the urban development process associated with a variety of challenges and technical requirements. This paper analyzed market factors, participants and their purposes, pointing out that the multi-sectoral development consultation is an effective way to clarify the flexibility of urban development, and achieve the optimal allocation of urban resources. Through the cooperation of public and private, the challenges of urban development should have a broader imagination to find a solution.

Global warming has brought new challenges to urban development worldwide. Built environment and cities are estimated to cause some 40-70% of the environmental impacts. This questions our current urban development practises and challenges us to find new solutions to manage the issues. The purpose of this study is to identify feasible eco-efficient concepts that can be implemented in the urban development process. These concepts are identified with a constructive research method, where potential concepts are originally identified from literature and further enhanced with thematic expert interviews, and finally, the suggested concepts are tested with a questionnaire and presented in an integrated framework for the eco-efficient concepts to better understand the requirements and opportunities in public urban development. The results showed that the urban development concepts that were most appealing to public stake holders were; an integrated design process, eco-efficient traffic and transportation solutions, and eco-efficient complementary development. Local energy procurement and management was also perceived as relatively lucrative services when developing eco-efficient urban areas. This study provides an extensive information platform (different ideas, themes, and concepts) to promote eco-efficiency in urban development in order to maintain and improve the sustainable quality of life and welfare in our urban society. Santrauka Pasaulinis atšilimas miestų plėtrai visame pasaulyje atnešė naujų iššūkių. Skaičiuojama, kad statiniai, jų aplinka ir miestai atsako už maždaug 40–70 proc. poveikio aplinkai. Tai verčia abejoti esama miestų plėtros praktika ir ragina ieškoti naujų sprendimų, kaip spręsti šias problemas. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti įmanomas ekologiškai veiksmingas koncepcijas, kurias galima įdiegti vykstant miestų plėtros procesui. Koncepcijos nustatomos taikant konstruktyvaus tyrimo metodą, kurio metu potencialios koncepcijos randamos literatūroje, vėliau patobulinamos atliekant teminius pokalbius su ekspertais, o paskui pasiūlytos koncepcijos patikrinamos pagal anketą ir įtraukiamos į integruotą ekologiškai efektyvių koncepcijų sistemą, kuri leidžia geriau suprasti visuomeninės miestų plėtros reikalavimus ir galimybes. Rezultatai parodė, kad suinteresuotoms visuomenės grupėms patraukliausios buvo šios miestų plėtros koncepcijos: integruotas projektavimo procesas, ekologiškai efektyvūs eismo ir transporto sprendimai, ekologiškai veiksmingas papildomų erdvių ir patalpų vystymas. Vystant ekologiškai efektyvias miesto zonas, vietinis energijos pirkimas ir valdymas taip pat laikomi gana pelningomis paslaugomis. Šiame tyrime pateikiama išsami informacijos platforma (įvairios idėjos, temos ir koncepcijos), skatinanti ekologiškai efektyvią miestų plėtrą, idant urbanizuota visuomenė palaikytų ir gerintų darnią gyvenimo kokybę bei gerovę.

The work is devoted to the study of the role and content of urban planning regulations in the development process of large cities, the main purpose of which is to significantly improve the quality of life of the population. In this regard, the regulation is a powerful mechanism of an integrated nature, capable of solving legal, social and other tasks.

While traditional forms of urban planning are oriented towards the future, the recent turn towards experimental and challenge-led urban developments is characterized by an overarching presentism. We explore in this article how an experimental approach to urban planning can consider the long-term through setting-up ‘conversations with a future situation.’ In doing so, we draw on a unique experiment: Råängen, a piece of farmland in Lund (Sweden) owned by the Cathedral. The plot is part of Brunnshög, a large urban development program envisioned to accommodate homes, workspaces, and world-class research centers in the coming decades. We trace how Lund Cathedral became an unusual developer involved in ‘planning for thousand years,’ deployed a set of art commissions to allow reflections about values, belief, time, faith, and became committed to play a central role in the development process. The art interventions staged conversations with involved actors as well as publics geographically and temporally far away. The Råängen case illustrates how long-term futures can be fruitfully brought to the present through multiple means of imagination. A key insight for urban planning is how techniques of financial discounting and municipal zoning plans could be complemented with trust in reflective conversations in which questions are prioritized over answers.

With the shift in global economic, social, demographic, and information technology, the emergence of metropolitan areas not only penetrated the border relations between countries, changed the interaction between central and local governments, restructured the size and style of urban spaces, but also caused a huge transformation in local infrastructures and community structures. The local governments hence have to face challenges in their management in regards to the arising changes and needs. This type of urban formation and development is not only a trend in countries around the globe; it is also an area the Taiwanese governments are actively involved in. With the impact of urbanization, the size of highly functional cities has surpassed core city administrative regions; therefore, this has generated various planning, administrative and policy issues. This study examines the PPPs views on urban development; the research methodology will be designed to focus on qualitative research, firstly undergoing document analysis, studying the progress of sustainable urban development and various issues arising during the development process in Taipei, Taiwan. Secondly, case analysis will be implemented to study the characteristics, current situation and problems in sustainable urban development in Taiwan. With two combined, a concrete and feasible study on sustainable urban development can be integrated and accomplished.

Urban development management is a global trend, and an urgent requirement in Vietnam today. In recent years, urban development in the southwestern region along the trend of adaptation to climate change has received the attention of the Party and the State; at the same time achieve certain results. However, the management of urban development in the southwestern region adapting to climate change is still inadequate, requiring more robust, systematic and synchronized measures in the development process and urban management in the Southwest region.
