The plan of this paper is focused on road traffic, regulating the intersection with light traffic signs and providing proposals for the planned strategic solution for achieving sustainability. It defines concrete activities and programs that will contribute to the sustainable development of the area based on the analysis of the current state of traffic. Through the implementation of the strategic plan, this plan will maintain urban mobility, the rapid passage of all traffic participants, also the conditions to fulfill the sustainable development that global experts have designated as; Ensure easy and healthy life with less air pollution for all traffic users, access to reliable traffic regulation programs, maintain modern energy to encourage new innovations in the form of transport. Build a resilient infrastructure by analyzing software simulations, and foster innovation by fostering the use of new technology. The strategic problems of developed cities require careful consideration and implementation of innovative approaches to creating strategic solutions. Contemporary ways of innovative arrangements and programs, based on sound regulation, are increasingly being used in practice, replacing new urban development instruments that are more appropriate to the needs of public administration and the possibilities of civilization. Global problems and accelerated dynamics of urban growth, above all, imply the use of innovative technology. The criterion for implementing the efficiency of technology in reaching the provision of an adequate quality of life. Strategic solution, which is implemented in the software as one of the newest urban development instruments, is specifically aimed at achieving the set goals, while respecting the principle of sustainability of traffic regulation, which is a strategic issue in many countries. Its basic characteristic is due to the development policies and the desired future through the dialogue of the wide traffic network. To make cities and other settlements, safe, resistant and sustainable strategic promotion of better development planning and incentivize modeling on the PTV VISION platform. Creating this plan will enable all future projects and ideas to be based on the unique programs provided by the software to ensure the consistency of the strategic approach. This means that the same importance will be attached to large infrastructure projects, as well as to projects of peaceful traffic planning or improvement of local main roads. The 'PTV-VISSIM' software program becomes an umbrella document for all transport and transport planning activities in this regard. The desired direction will be established and the key initiatives for the realization of the strategy for the next few years will be presented.

Over the last two decades, there has been an intensive discourse and research about measuring sustainable urban development. Many cities, regions and countries have decided to introduce indicators for monitoring and measuring the progress towards sustainability. Today there is a wide spread perception that information on the environment in general, and urban environment in particular, is the determinant of effective rational decisions and allocation of resources. Such information would enable planners and decision makers to formulate redistributive policies and programmes to address some of the disparities that exist in a post-socialist city. Cities of the post-socialist world characterized by sharp disparities, socio-economic contrasts and environmental degradation provide an excellent laboratory for tracing information on the quality of urban life. The current situation in the emerging Croatian coastal city of Zadar reflects the diversity of the post-socialist urban change in a very fragile Mediterranean landscape. This paper takes a critical look at sustainable development and its measurements. It describes the participatory approach through which different local communities in Zadar were evaluating quality of life based on basic pillars of sustainable development. The identification and collection of their opinions provide valuable data base and community input into urban governance and development planning decision making.

Spatial sustainable development planning and providing is a very responsible process. During the process, many spatial development planning documents for specific different time periods on different planning levels are being developed. However, there are only slight differences between the spatial development planning in many European countries where few of them can notice more than the others. Latvia and England, two European Union countries, which had some significant changes in legislation regarding spatial development planning in 2011, were selected for the comparison. The research aims to evaluate similar and different aspects of spatial development planning in Latvia and England. To achieve the aim, the information on spatial development planning tendencies in both countries, legislation, development order of planning documents and other aspects. The result is a comparison of different and similar aspects of spatial development planning in Latvia and England.

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 landscape industry has become one of the industries with higher resource and energy consumption, and the implementation of urban low-carbon landscape construction is of great significance to improve the ecological environment. In this study, the method of low-carbon landscape construction was studied from two aspects including the carbon source control and carbon sink, as well as both direct and indirect effect. The results showed that the low-carbon landscape construction can be controlled from five aspects including landscape planning, landscape design, low-carbon landscape technology, low-carbon landscape behavior and low-carbon policy. Through a series of low-carbon measures, carbon emissions can be controlled at a reasonable level during the urban landscape construction, which also promotes the sustainable development of urban ecological environment.
