The renewal of Wuhan's Lihuangpi Road neighborhood represents an integrated approach to historic preservation, low-carbon development, and community engagement. This study investigates the renewal strategies and their implications for sustainable urban development through a combination of policy analysis, field observations, semi-structured interviews, and inductive content analysis. Findings show that a “gradual renewal” model was adopted, emphasizing facade restoration of historic buildings, pedestrian-friendly environments, and improvements to public spaces and residents' quality of life. Low-carbon measures included the expansion of green infrastructure, enhanced waste classification, and traffic control, while building-level energy retrofitting remained limited. Commercial revitalization contributed to local economic vitality, supported in part by tourism development, though concerns over cultural commodification emerged. Community participation played a significant role in environmental governance, particularly in waste management practices; however, long-term engagement mechanisms remain underdeveloped. The renewal process was largely government-led, yet the integration of more flexible policies and market incentives warrants further exploration. Rather than advancing new theoretical frameworks, this study provides empirical insights into the practice of low-carbon urban renewal in historic districts. It offers practical references for policymakers and urban practitioners seeking to balance heritage conservation with environmental and social sustainability.

武汉李黄陂路街区的更新代表了历史保护、低碳发展和社区参与的综合方法。本研究采用政策分析、实地观察、半结构化访谈和归纳性内容分析相结合的方法，探讨城市更新策略及其对可持续城市发展的影响。研究结果表明，采用“渐进式更新”模式，强调历史建筑立面的修复，行人友好的环境，以及公共空间和居民生活质量的改善。低碳措施包括扩大绿色基础设施、加强废物分类和交通管制，而建筑层面的节能改造仍然有限。商业复兴促进了当地的经济活力，旅游业的发展在一定程度上支持了这一点，尽管对文化商品化的担忧也出现了。社区参与在环境治理，特别是在废物管理做法方面发挥了重要作用；然而，长期参与机制仍然不发达。更新过程主要是政府主导的，但更灵活的政策和市场激励的结合值得进一步探索。本研究并没有提出新的理论框架，而是为历史街区的低碳城市更新实践提供了实证见解。它为寻求遗产保护与环境和社会可持续性之间平衡的政策制定者和城市实践者提供了实用参考。

Public health has become a focal point in urban development, particularly in developing countries where peri-urban areas exhibit a complex integration of urban and rural characteristics. This unique spatial configuration presents challenges in achieving balanced and integrated development. Accordingly, this research examines the spatial distribution of the built environment from a health-spatial perspective to advance the concept of a healthy city in the peri-urban context of Pathum Thani province, Thailand. Utilizing Moran’s I and Getis-Ord Gi∗ statistics, the analysis reveals that while medium to large cities demonstrate similar patterns of health service distribution due to urbanization dynamics, smaller cities experience significant accessibility constraints. The fragmentation of green spaces and limited availability of recreational facilities further impede opportunities for physical activity. To address these disparities, the research highlights the necessity of expanding public parks and promoting active mobility, including walking and cycling, as fundamental strategies for improving health outcomes. The findings emphasize the importance of equitable urban planning to enhance accessibility through integrated transport networks. Additionally, they highlight the need to incorporate diverse activities (e.g., healthcare services, green spaces, and mobility infrastructure) within the broader community framework. This integrative approach fosters inclusivity, enhances social cohesion, and supports sustainable urban growth by ensuring equitable access to essential services and promoting overall well-being.

公共卫生已成为城市发展的一个焦点，特别是在城郊地区表现出复杂的城乡一体化特点的发展中国家。这种独特的空间结构对实现平衡和综合发展提出了挑战。因此，本研究从健康空间的角度考察了泰国巴吞他尼省近郊城市环境中建筑环境的空间分布，以推进健康城市的概念。利用Moran的I和Getis-Ord Gi *统计数据，分析表明，虽然由于城市化动态，中大型城市表现出类似的卫生服务分布模式，但较小的城市则受到严重的可及性限制。绿地的碎片化和娱乐设施的有限性进一步阻碍了体育活动的机会。为了解决这些差异，研究强调了扩大公共公园和促进积极行动的必要性，包括步行和骑自行车，作为改善健康结果的基本战略。调查结果强调了公平的城市规划对通过综合交通网络提高可达性的重要性。此外，它们强调需要在更广泛的社区框架内纳入各种活动（例如，医疗保健服务、绿色空间和移动基础设施）。这种综合方法促进包容性，增强社会凝聚力，并通过确保公平获得基本服务和促进整体福祉，支持可持续城市增长。

Urban Green Open Spaces (GOS) are essential for enhancing urban quality of life by promoting health, social interaction, cultural engagement, and civic participation. A key aspect of their effectiveness is publicness, which emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility. However, rapid urbanization and increasing privatization have threatened these qualities. In Jakarta, Indonesia's capital and economic hub, where public GOS are limited, ensuring equitable access remains challenging despite government initiatives. This study investigates the level of publicness of two major parks in Jakarta, Tebet Eco Park (TEP) and Lapangan Banteng Park (LBP). Using a mixed-methods approach, including questionnaire distribution, interviews, and field observations, this study applied the VIKOR model, a multi-criteria decision-making method, to evaluate key publicness indicators. The findings revealed that accessibility, activity diversity, security and comfort significantly influence the publicness of GOS. Meanwhile, facility availability and community involvement variations contributed to differing publicness levels between TEP and LBP. The study underscores the importance of strategies that enhance accessibility, diversify activities, improve security and comfort, upgrade facilities, and strengthen community engagement to foster more inclusive public GOS. The integrative approach used in this study provides a comprehensive assessment of publicness in urban GOS, contributing valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners to develop more inclusive and sustainable urban development.

城市绿色开放空间（GOS）通过促进健康、社会互动、文化参与和公民参与，对提高城市生活质量至关重要。其有效性的一个关键方面是公共性，强调包容性和可及性。然而，迅速的城市化和日益增加的私有化威胁到了这些品质。在印度尼西亚的首都和经济中心雅加达，公共GOS有限，尽管政府采取了一些举措，但确保公平获取仍然是一项挑战。本研究调查了雅加达两个主要公园，Tebet生态公园（TEP）和Lapangan Banteng公园（LBP）的公共程度。本研究采用问卷调查、访谈和实地观察等混合方法，采用VIKOR模型（一种多标准决策方法）对关键的公共性指标进行评估。结果表明，可达性、活动多样性、安全性和舒适性显著影响GOS的公共性。同时，设施可用性和社区参与的差异导致TEP和LBP之间的公开程度不同。该研究强调了提高可达性、多样化活动、提高安全性和舒适度、升级设施和加强社区参与等战略的重要性，以促进更具包容性的公共政府。本研究采用的综合方法对城市政府的公共性进行了全面评估，为政策制定者和城市规划者提供了宝贵的见解，以实现更具包容性和可持续性的城市发展。

How urban residents perceive and value the quality of public space remains crucial to inclusive urban planning and design. Yet, understanding these perceptions is often complicated by the diverse social and cultural backgrounds of city dwellers. This article examines how citizens in Montréal assess their streetscapes across multiple criteria, such as accessibility, comfort, and aesthetics, and reports on rating and ranking experiments that reveal notable discrepancies in individual perceptions, particularly on inclusivity-related dimensions. More convergent assessments emerged during group discussions. Building on these findings, this study offers a framework for integrating individual and collective assessments, providing insights for municipal planners. The results underscore the importance of localized, context-sensitive evaluations and illustrate how stakeholder engagement, especially in smaller focus groups, can reconcile differing views on what constitutes a welcoming and inclusive urban environment. We conclude that responsive public space management, grounded in iterative, localized participatory processes, can enhance accessibility and foster inclusivity by incorporating regular small-group dialogues that identify the diverse cultural and social needs of residents. Such an approach promotes a dynamic sense of publicness, supports adaptive management practices, and contributes to the welfare of diverse urban communities.

城市居民如何看待和评价公共空间的质量对于包容性城市规划和设计至关重要。然而，城市居民不同的社会和文化背景往往使理解这些观念变得复杂。本文考察了montracemal的公民如何通过多种标准（如可达性、舒适性和美观性）评估他们的街景，并报告了评级和排名实验，这些实验揭示了个人看法的显著差异，特别是在包容性相关方面。在小组讨论中出现了更加趋同的评价。在这些发现的基础上，本研究提供了一个整合个人和集体评估的框架，为市政规划者提供了见解。研究结果强调了本地化、环境敏感型评估的重要性，并说明了利益相关者的参与，特别是在较小的焦点小组中，如何能够调和关于什么是友好和包容的城市环境的不同观点。我们的结论是，基于迭代的、本地化的参与式过程的响应式公共空间管理，可以通过定期的小组对话来确定居民的不同文化和社会需求，从而提高可达性和包容性。这种方法促进了一种动态的公共性，支持适应性管理实践，并有助于不同城市社区的福利。

Latvian municipalities are increasingly utilising spatial data to execute their autonomous functions. However, effective data management and availability across various departments still need to improve the complete realisation of integrated geospatial information framework (IGIF) benefits. This paper aims to evaluate the potential of IGIF and spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to enhance the implementation of autonomous functions of Latvia's local governments (municipalities) and provide tools to support decision-making processes. Thus we address the main research question, may municipalities use available geospatial information to execute all their functions and capture positive synergies? The study employed a qualitative approach, including semi-structured interviews with municipal representatives responsible for spatial data usage and management. An analysis of regulations was conducted to identify municipalities' autonomous functions, their legal contexts, and associated spatial data requirements. Based on relevant to study documents, open data resources, and expert consultations, spatial data were structured and grouped to support decision-making processes. An assessment matrix was developed to assess the potential use of available spatial data across all twenty-two legally determined autonomous functions. The study revealed that, although municipalities recognise the benefits of IGIF and spatial data, there needs to be a unified approach to SDI for data management and use, avoiding data duplication and inconsistencies. The legal framework primarily focuses on spatial data related to the environment, spatial planning, land use, and development. Social, economic, and spatial data availability is not directly regulated. They are often created only on-demand or for specific needs, limiting their broader availability for supporting other functions. Technological limitations and resource constraints further impede the effective use of spatial data. While the implementation of IGIF is feasible and could significantly improve the quality and efficiency of services and promote sustainable development, its success depends on first strengthening the SDI through a systems approach that prioritises data interoperability, capacity-building, and strategic investments in technology and knowledge sharing.

拉脱维亚市政当局越来越多地利用空间数据来执行其自治职能。然而，有效的数据管理和跨部门的可用性仍然需要改进，以完全实现综合地理空间信息框架（IGIF）的好处。本文旨在评估IGIF和空间数据基础设施（SDI）的潜力，以加强拉脱维亚地方政府（市政当局）自治职能的实施，并提供支持决策过程的工具。因此，我们解决了主要的研究问题，市政当局是否可以利用可用的地理空间信息来执行其所有职能并获得积极的协同效应？该研究采用了定性方法，包括与负责空间数据使用和管理的市政代表进行半结构化访谈。对法规进行了分析，以确定市政当局的自治职能、其法律背景和相关的空间数据要求。基于相关研究文献、开放数据资源和专家咨询，对空间数据进行结构化和分组，以支持决策过程。开发了一个评估矩阵，以评估所有22个法律确定的自治功能中可用空间数据的潜在用途。该研究表明，尽管市政当局认识到IGIF和空间数据的好处，但需要一个统一的SDI方法来管理和使用数据，避免数据重复和不一致。法律框架主要关注与环境、空间规划、土地利用和发展相关的空间数据。社会、经济和空间数据的可用性不受直接管制。它们通常是按需或为特定需求而创建的，这限制了它们支持其他功能的广泛可用性。技术限制和资源限制进一步阻碍了空间数据的有效利用。虽然实施IGIF是可行的，可以显著提高服务质量和效率，促进可持续发展，但其成功与否取决于首先通过系统方法加强SDI，优先考虑数据互操作性、能力建设以及技术和知识共享方面的战略投资。

This study challenges how the “smart” city branding implicitly introduces a spatial preconception – positioning the city as the primary, if not exclusive, territorial unit for harnessing smart technologies. This biased framing inherently undermines “rural areas” and “remote regions”, despite their integral role within sustainable territorial planning, thus, limiting their potential to leverage smart technologies to strengthen territorial inclusiveness and resilience. Contrary to this inherent sense of seeming “biasness”, and through a holistic territorial perspective, this manuscript attempts to critically interrogate this implicit bias underscoring the assumption that cities are the most legitimate, if not the only, entities suited for a given “smart” transformation. It also defies the contemporary narrative, in both scholarship and practice, that equates smart innovation and resilience-building exclusively within urban contexts. By doing so, the study questions a long-standing trend within smart city discourse to confine the benefits of technological advancement within cities only, rather than considering the full territorial landscape. In addition, this paper sheds light on the new role of rapid technological innovations that would shift the paradigm of sustainable territorial development, embracing a more integrated and inclusive approach seeking to improve the well-being of human settlements across the globe regardless of being rural, remote regions or urban.

这项研究挑战了“智慧”城市品牌如何隐含地引入空间先入为主的观念——将城市定位为利用智能技术的主要（如果不是唯一的）领土单位。尽管“农村地区”和“偏远地区”在可持续领土规划中发挥着不可或缺的作用，但这种有偏见的框架从本质上破坏了它们的作用，从而限制了它们利用智能技术加强领土包容性和复原力的潜力。与这种内在的看似“偏见”的感觉相反，通过整体的领土视角，本文试图批判性地质疑这种隐含的偏见，强调城市是最合法的，如果不是唯一的，适合特定“智能”转型的实体。它也违背了当代学术和实践中的说法，即智慧创新和韧性建设只在城市背景下进行。通过这样做，该研究质疑了智慧城市话语中一个长期存在的趋势，即只将技术进步的好处局限在城市内，而不是考虑整个地区的景观。此外，本文阐明了快速技术创新的新作用，它将改变可持续领土发展的范式，采用更加综合和包容的方法，寻求改善全球人类住区的福祉，无论是农村、偏远地区还是城市。

The heart of a city, the central business district (CBD), is a bustling hub where the main commercial streets and important public buildings are concentrated. Over time, the CBD has transformed, going through various phases of development that included industrial zones, residential areas, commercial centers, government buildings, and entertainment districts. This paper aims to measure the inclusiveness of open public spaces in KAFD as one of the latest CBD in Riyadh city using inclusive urban design indicators as a measuring indicator. To achieve this aim, the research approved a multifaceted method. First, the research started by reviewing the literature about inclusive urban design and CBD concept to conclude that indicators used to measure inclusiveness. Second, different scientific methods are identified to measure inclusiveness such as meticulous observations, documentation, photography, mapping … and lastly, hybrid questionnaire was administered to gather comprehensive data about user experience.

It is well established that major and even secondary African cities are very expensive despite the business opportunities and amenities they offer. Does this singularity of those cities have a positive or negative impact on the employment satisfaction of formal sector workers in Côte d'Ivoire? Using the decomposition proposed by Oaxaca and Blinder on inequalities between groups of individuals, this article shows that the territory characteristics have a positive effect on the employment satisfaction of small localities workers. The job satisfaction gap is in their advantage. With similar characteristics, there is an unexplained gap which represents approximately half (47.31 %) of the total gap due to the specificities of the localities and valued by gender, number of years' study, seniority in company and first job. The positive effect of the opportunities offered by the large localities would then be supplanted by the negative effect of the living cost and the promiscuity reigning there, making the jobs they held inappropriate and therefore unsatisfactory. Thus, first-time workers, men, and workers with an additional year of study would find in small localities' assets related to lower living costs: housing, food, transportation, etc. The challenge in the territorial analysis of job satisfaction is to get workers from large localities but not to consider the fact of working or starting to work in a small locality as "degrading", since the living cost there is low. In fact, with a similar nominal income, a worker in a small locality would have a higher real income than that of a worker from a large locality. If this idea is understood, all things being equal, this article suggests that a large cities deconcentration could be possible with a view to improving life quality and the small towns' development made possible by workers residents' investments.

众所周知，尽管非洲主要甚至次要城市提供了商业机会和便利设施，但它们的生活成本非常高。这些城市的这种独特性对Côte科特迪瓦正规部门工人的就业满意度有正面还是负面的影响？本文利用Oaxaca和Blinder对个体群体间不平等的分解，发现地域特征对小地方工人的就业满意度有正向影响。工作满意度的差距是他们的优势。有类似的特点，有一个无法解释的差距，约占总差距的一半（47.31%），这是由于地方的特殊性和性别、学习年限、公司资历和第一份工作的价值。大城市提供的机会所带来的积极影响将被生活成本和滥交所带来的负面影响所取代，这些负面影响使他们所从事的工作不合适，因此令人不满意。因此，第一次工作的工人、男性和多学习一年的工人会在小地方发现与较低的生活成本相关的资产：住房、食品、交通等。对工作满意度进行地域分析的挑战在于，既要让工人来自大地区，又不要把在小地区工作或开始工作的事实视为“有辱人格”，因为那里的生活成本较低。事实上，在名义收入相似的情况下，一个小地方的工人的实际收入会高于一个大地方的工人。如果这个想法被理解，在所有条件相同的情况下，本文认为大城市的分散是可能的，以提高生活质量和小城镇的发展，使工人居民的投资成为可能。

This study addresses water supply challenges in rapidly growing urban centres of India through a participatory, co-design approach. Focusing on two marginalised wards in Kochi, Kerala, India, the study uses Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques and stakeholder co-design workshops to explore solution suggestions for sustainable urban water supply. The study revealed critical issues such as water shortages, unequal distribution, and water quality concerns. Through active engagement with residents and local water supply service institutions, this study collaboratively designed and proposed sustainable and context-specific solution suggestions, such as implementing Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for real-time monitoring of water systems and a multilingual digital social platform to facilitate communication between water supply services and residents. This approach not only addresses immediate water supply issues but also promotes long-term stakeholder engagement and community empowerment. While some aspects of the findings are context-specific, such as the particular challenges identified and the solutions suggested, the core methodology of combining PRA and co-design approaches is generalisable to other contexts. The research findings provided insights that can be applied across different urban infrastructure issues in different contexts to understand local challenges, engage stakeholders, integrate technology with existing infrastructure and local knowledge, create user-friendly interfaces, and iteratively refine solutions in a co-design process. The study's innovative methodology demonstrates how participatory approaches can lead to more effective, sustainable, and locally adapted solutions in urban water supply, offering valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners in low- and middle-income countries facing similar challenges.

本研究通过参与式、协同设计的方法解决了印度快速发展的城市中心的供水挑战。本研究以印度喀拉拉邦科钦的两个边缘化地区为研究对象，采用参与式农村评估（PRA）技术和利益相关者共同设计研讨会，探讨可持续城市供水的解决方案建议。该研究揭示了一些关键问题，如水资源短缺、分配不均和水质问题。通过与居民和当地供水服务机构的积极参与，本研究共同设计并提出了可持续的、针对具体情况的解决方案建议，例如实施物联网（IoT）传感器对供水系统进行实时监控，以及建立多语言数字社交平台，促进供水服务机构与居民之间的沟通。这种方法不仅解决了眼前的供水问题，还促进了利益相关者的长期参与和社区赋权。虽然研究结果的某些方面与具体情况有关，例如确定的特定挑战和建议的解决方案，但将PRA和协同设计方法相结合的核心方法可推广到其他情况。研究结果提供了可以应用于不同背景下不同城市基础设施问题的见解，以了解当地挑战，吸引利益相关者，将技术与现有基础设施和当地知识相结合，创建用户友好的界面，并在协同设计过程中迭代完善解决方案。该研究的创新方法展示了参与式方法如何在城市供水方面带来更有效、可持续和适合当地的解决方案，为面临类似挑战的低收入和中等收入国家的政策制定者和城市规划者提供了宝贵的见解。

Urban expansion is pivotal in global urbanization, influencing human development and environmental sustainability. However, understanding urban growth dynamics, particularly the interaction between macro-level urban form and micro-level land use change, remains incomplete. This study analyzes Minsk, Belarus' urban expansion (1990–2020) to bridge this gap. We examine how macro-scale urban form and micro-scale land-use dynamics jointly shape urban growth. Using multi-temporal Landsat imagery, land use classification, landscape metrics (e.g., Proximity Expansion Index), and gradient analysis, we quantified Minsk's urban development patterns. Results show Minsk's expansion integrates dispersed peripheral growth with internal infill development. At the macro level, Minsk maintained a monocentric structure with decreasing urban land density outwards, while built-up land increased by 93.3 % (198.08 km²) during 1990–2020. Urban compactness also improved. At the micro level, edge-expansion patches dominated in number and area, with increasingly complex and fragmented forms, while infilling patches grew by 87.2 %, enhancing spatial connectivity. These findings demonstrate that Minsk's urban expansion integrates outward sprawl with internal spatial optimization. By integrating macro and micro perspectives, this study proposes a comprehensive analytical framework for sustainable urban growth management. The insights are valuable for urban planners and policymakers in Minsk and comparable cities.

城市扩张是全球城市化的关键，影响着人类发展和环境可持续性。然而，对城市增长动态的理解，特别是宏观层面的城市形态与微观层面的土地利用变化之间的相互作用，仍然不完整。本研究分析了白俄罗斯明斯克的城市扩张（1990-2020），以弥补这一差距。我们研究了宏观尺度的城市形态和微观尺度的土地利用动态如何共同影响城市增长。利用多时相Landsat图像、土地利用分类、景观指标（如邻近扩张指数）和梯度分析，我们量化了明斯克的城市发展模式。结果表明，明斯克的扩展将分散的外围增长与内部填充发展相结合。宏观上，明斯克保持单中心结构，城市用地密度向外下降，建设用地增加93.3% （198.08 km2）。城市紧凑度也有所提高。微观上，边缘扩展斑块在数量和面积上均占主导地位，斑块形式日益复杂和破碎化，而填充斑块增长了87.2%，空间连通性增强。这些发现表明，明斯克的城市扩张将向外扩张与内部空间优化相结合。本研究结合宏观和微观视角，提出了城市可持续增长管理的综合分析框架。这些见解对明斯克和类似城市的城市规划者和决策者很有价值。
