The article identifies the principles of private public partnership (PPP) in social and green infrastructure and urban development of modern cities.The paper also focuses on the methodology that explains how local or national governments and the initiative of the private sector can become a strong factor in sustainable urban planning. The most important goals of developing urban areas and architecture policies include the enlargement of sustainable territories and legislative basis of governance, financial mechanisms and improvement in PPP; however, these measures are impossible to achieve without consistent implementation. One of the major goals for governments is to find effective ways to encourage society to be cooperative and involved in the process of expanding social and green infrastructure, public space and territorial communities in cities. It is obvious that limited resources require cooperation between businesses, government and society. The obtained results have shown that immediate changes are necessary to achieve sustainable urban development. This article investigates a PPP concept in the context of green city development as well as considers the methods and possibilities of optimizing partnership management and development in Lithuania. Finally, the paper examines worldwide and European experience along with incentives and obstacles of PPP. Santrauka Straipsnio tema siejama su šiuolaikinių miestų teritorijų vystymu, architektūros politikos formavimu, kraštovaizdžio infrastruktūros kokybinių rodiklių pagerinimu taikant viešosios ir privačiosios partnerystės (VPP) principus kaip šiuolaikinių bendruomenių kraštovaizdžio kokybės gerinimo priemonę. Per ekonominį sunkmetį pasaulis, taip pat ir Lietuva ieško miestų tvarios plėtros galimybių ir ypatingą dėmesį skiria partnerystės modelių paieškai. Šioje situacijoje vienas iš pagrindinių valdžios institucijų uždavinių yra rasti būdus, kaip formuojant miestų kraštovaizdžio ar architektūros politiką sudaryti prielaidas visuomenei tapti naujo tipo aktyviai bendradarbiaujančia miesto kūrimo procesuose dalyve. Šių problemų sprendimas yra svarbus siekiant gamtinės, ekonominės bei socialinės aplinkos ir teritorinės sanglaudos. Akivaizdu, riboti ištekliai šiam tikslui pasiekti skatina bendradarbiauti verslo, valdžios atstovus ir visuomenę efektyviausiais, straipsnyje aptariamais partnerystės būdais. Konstatuojama, kad labai svarbu užtikrinti gerą veiksmų bei darbų koordinaciją racionaliai paskirstant išteklius ir pareigas tarp valdžios, privataus verslo ir visuomenės įtraukiant visuomenines organizacijas bei miestų teritorinių bendruomenių narius į aplinkos formavimo procesų valdymą. Straipsnyje nagrinėjama VPP samprata vystant miestus, prielaidos, galimybės ir partnerystės optimizavimo būdų taikymo Lietuvoje problematika. VPP Lietuvoje raida tiriama pasaulio patirties kontekste.

Rapidly changing framework conditions for city development such as globalization, demographic trends, deindustrialization, technological developments or the increasing urbanization as well as the economic, social and political changes are profound and change our urban life. This leads, that the cities of tomorrow will differ essentially from today´s city principles. Therefore innovative, strategically wise and quick action becomes a criterion for success. Here, more than ever, local conditions and requirements must be taken into account as well as global framework conditions. The responsible parties have to set the course so that the “City” remains competitive and sustainable in the future. Therefore, innovation processes and sustainable strategies for dealing with the diverse and complex agendas of a city in dialogue with those who are responsible for it must be initiated and management systems established so that new things can develop continuously and systematically. This work illustrates how the boundaries created to manage and market future liveable and sustainable city destinations are the root of the practical and academic problems that trouble city management these days.  This paper aims to develop the new integrated Smart Urban Profiling and Management model, which presents a new integrated approach for city marketing as an instrument of sustainable urban development. In this way, comprehensive research was conducted to evaluate if the holistic city marketing concept that integrates elements of smart city strategies and adaptive management is a more suitable instrument and integrative process than conventional city marketing in order to improve the sustainable urban development. Therefore, in this work, the designed “Smart Urban Profiling and Management model” for city management introduces an alternative and holistic perspective that allows transcending past boundaries and thus getting closer to the real complexities of managing city development in dynamic systems. The results offer the opportunity to recognize the city and consequently allow to developing successful strategies and implementation measures. This study targets to contribute to this endeavor in order to produce new impulses and incitements in the city management field and shall provide a fresh impetus for a new understanding of city marketing as the initiator of development processes, mobilization and moderator in concerning communication and participation processes. This paper is written from a perspective addressing those responsible for the city- management, city- & urban marketing and development.

Quantitative and accurate urban land information on regional and global scales is urgently required for studying socioeconomic and eco-environmental problems. The spatial distribution of urban land is a significant part of urban development planning, which is vital for optimizing land use patterns and promoting sustainable urban development. Composite nighttime light (NTL) data from the Defense Meteorological Program Operational Line-Scan System (DMSP-OLS) have been proven to be effective for extracting urban land. However, the saturation and blooming within the DMSP-OLS NTL hinder its capacity to provide accurate urban information. This paper proposes an optimized approach that combines NTL with multiple index data to overcome the limitations of extracting urban land based only on NTL data. We combined three sources of data, the DMSP-OLS, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and the normalized difference water index (NDWI), to establish a novel approach called the vegetation–water-adjusted NTL urban index (VWANUI), which is used to rapidly extract urban land areas on regional and global scales. The results show that the proposed approach reduces the saturation of DMSP-OLS and essentially eliminates blooming effects. Next, we developed regression models based on the normalized DMSP-OLS, the human settlement index (HSI), the vegetation-adjusted NTL urban index (VANUI), and the VWANUI to analyze and estimate urban land areas. The results show that the VWANUI regression model provides the highest performance of all the models tested. To summarize, the VWANUI reduces saturation and blooming, and improves the accuracy with which urban areas are extracted, thereby providing valuable support and decision-making references for designing sustainable urban development.

The undergoing trend and development towards urbanization and the consequences of socio-ecological and climate change are increasing the pressure on cities worldwide. The planning of urban green and blue spaces is essential for sustainable urban development, especially for the conservation of urban ecosystems in fast-growing cities. In this context, the spatial-explicit and ecological connectivity analyses of urban green infrastructure are helpful tools for planning and the evaluation of spatial patterns and their changes for the sustainability of urban development. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of urban expansion on the urban green corridors. In this paper, we present an analysis of ecological networks for green infrastructure planning at the city level, making the most out of morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) techniques and social-ecological analysis methods. The findings reveal the changes of spatial patterns of urban green and blue areas in Gaoyou city and disclose its ecological corridors and connectivity from 1990 to 2012. The urban green corridors analysis method proposed here can be used in other cities and allow for the production of spatially detailed urban ecological connectivity assessment and monitoring. Recommendations to enhance and conserve green corridors and ecological networks such as reserving networks in the east of the example city have been concluded. The conclusion obtained using our spatial analysis method can be used in other municipalities to serve as spatial-explicit tools for urban green spaces and land use planning.
