Sustainable development, the design of green and economically feasible processes to produce synthetic polymers is one of the major needs and biggest challenges. Catalysis of polymerization processes is among the most important applications within the field of nanoscience. Intensive research is being conducted and considerable success has been achieved in the heterogenization of various homogeneous catalysts on nano supports for polymerization of olefins and dienes. The large surface area of various nanomaterials qualifies them quite naturally to act either as a heterogeneous promoter for catalytic reactions or as a support for the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts. To the polymerization of olefins and dienes by using nanocatalysts are devoted significant numbers of published papers, but to elucidate the possible effect of both the type and properties of nano supports and their sizes and amounts on the activity and stereoselectivity of heterogenized catalysts and the properties of the obtained polymers are needed more detailed studies. This review attempted to collect some published research materials in the field of the nanocatalysis of olefins and dienes polymerization processes and our main aim is to assess the critical points and to indicate the future perspectives and possible strategies in this area of research. We are confident that this review will be a helpful companion and deliver key hints to those, in academia and in the industry, who decide to move their research interest in this direction

The lacking of holistic analysis in urban planning is urgent in China. This paper start from complexity theory to analyze and study the urban development patterns in urban planning of China cities. This paper analyzes the need of holistic analysis in the process of urban planning. This need is very important for the current process of urban modernization and the building of harmonious society in China. As discussed in this paper, we must make an effort to improve urban planning by virtue of choosing a very clear direction according to the nature of urban planning. From the perspective of different disciplines to understand the city and urban planning, we can able to make a complex system of our city and complex understanding of things deviation reduced, and finally effectively promote the development of the city.

Since 2010, an advanced regionalization project has been initiated by Morocco, which plans to consolidate the processes of decentralization and deconcentration by extending the powers of the regions and other local authorities. This project, institutionalized in the 2011 Constitution, defines the territorial organization of the Kingdom and reinforces decentralization according to a model of advanced regionalization. Through advanced regionalization, Morocco aims at integrated and sustainable development in economic, social, cultural and environmental terms, through the development of the potential and resources of each region. However, in order to honor this commitment of advanced regionalization, local authorities must be assisted in adopting a local strategic planning approach, allowing them to develop territorial plans for sustainable development in accordance with the national legal framework, specifically the Framework law 99-12, and international commitments in terms of environmental protection. This research deals with the issue of environmental governance in relation to the role and duties of local authorities. Thus, the main goal of our study is to present the guidelines to be followed by the local authorities to improve the quality of the environment integration process in the local strategic planning with the aim of putting it in a perspective of sustainable development.

Throughout Asia, there is a commitment by governments to sustainable development, yet economic development continues to degrade the natural resources of the region and pollute the environment in both urban and rural areas. Current thinking about sustainable development suggests that planners and development specialists should attempt to integrate social, economic and environmental dimensions at all planning levels. This paper examines work undertaken by the Asian Development Bank over the last 15 years in the area of subnational integrated economic-cum-environmental (E-c-E) planning. It evaluates five subnational E-c-E plans against a model developed by the Organization of American States (OAS). The study found that the Asian case studies (and six earlier Latin American case studies) often have common failings. Improvement of the E-c-E planning approach, building on the common success factors and improving on the common weaknesses, is proposed. An improved E-c-E planning approach at all levels may be pivotal in contributing to sustainable development.

In searching for answers about the actual relation between two apparently incompatible concepts: the Kingdom of God and the Sustainable Development (SD), we will try to put them side by side and use respective comparative findings, in order to see if they can work together and possibly benefit from each other. The aim is to better understand future perspectives that are opening for the church within the contemporary context. The two concepts considered in this research, the Kingdom of God and SD, are never supposed to be separated. Although coming from different sources, using different languages, and springing out from different socio-political contexts, they tackle the same set of universal issues; both are eagerly anticipated, their fulfilment is of utmost importance, they both call for profound personal and communal transformation, both are powerfully creative and innovative, and both have the capacity to mobilize communities, peoples, and resources. The intersections between the SD and the Kingdom of God create opportunities for the church to practice shalom and to nurture hesed in the world by encouraging inclusiveness, lobbing for social justice, carrying for the poor and marginalized, and extending love and compassion onto the whole of creation, without losing its genuine identity. Within the SD framework, the role of the church is to make sure that nobody is left behind. The church might be the best part of the SD practice by persistently insisting on the same universal set of Kingdom values no matter how circumstances are changing.

Today one of the important concerns of cities is growth by sustainable development. However sustainable urban development has been used in various forms and explained by various definitions, this subject is accompanied by uncertainty. New approaches in urban planning have attempted to achieve sustainable development. One of these is City Development Strategies (CDS), a new strategic planning approach that has been employed in more than 200 cities worldwide to achieve sustainable growth. However, CDS achieve different levels of success in sustainability. This paper takes the initiative to investigate the contribution of CDS toward sustainable urban development by looking for inclusion of principle of sustainable urban development in CDS themes. However CDS themes are various such as sustainable urban development definitions, therefore this inclusion is different. This paper highlights this relationship and inclusion for one the latest definition of CDS presented by Cities Alliance in 2006. This definition can succeed to achieve sustainability on some aspects, especially environmental and economic sustainability and fail to achieve some ones. This output is discussed in relation to CDS themes that have been applied in developing countries.
