Urban flooding, intensified by climate change and rapid urbanization, presents a critical challenge to global resilience. Current approaches often operate in silos, with a significant gap in the comparative and integrated assessment of smart-technology versus nature-based solution (NbS) strategies across diverse global contexts. This study addresses this gap through a systematic analysis of urban flood management in selected cities from China, the USA, Europe, and Southeast Asia, chosen to represent varied climates, topographies, and development levels. Our findings reveal distinct regional paradigms: Chinese cities exemplify a rapid, engineering-focused evolution; US cities grapple with aging infrastructure and coastal threats; European cities demonstrate advanced basin-wide governance; and Southeast Asian cities face challenges of infrastructure adequacy and transboundary coordination. Crucially, the analysis demonstrates that the most effective and resilient outcomes emerge from hybrid strategies that synergistically combine smart technologies, such as AI, IoT sensors, and remote sensing, with NbS, such as sponge city concepts and green infrastructure. This integrated approach simultaneously enhances predictive forecasting, real-time control, and watershed restoration, while also supporting carbon sequestration goals. The study concludes that transcending the traditional dichotomy between “gray” and “green” infrastructure is paramount. We propose a forward-looking framework for urban flood resilience that champions adaptive, data-informed governance, context-sensitive hybrid solutions, and strengthened international cooperation to build sustainable and equitable urban futures in the face of escalating climate risks.

气候变化和快速城市化加剧了城市洪水，对全球抵御能力构成了严峻挑战。目前的方法往往是孤立的，在不同全球背景下，智能技术与基于自然的解决方案（NbS）战略的比较和综合评估方面存在重大差距。本研究通过系统分析来自中国、美国、欧洲和东南亚的城市的洪水管理，解决了这一差距，这些城市代表了不同的气候、地形和发展水平。我们的研究结果揭示了不同的区域范式：中国城市是快速的、以工程为中心的演变；美国城市正在努力应对老化的基础设施和沿海威胁；欧洲城市展示了先进的全流域治理；东南亚城市面临基础设施充足性和跨界协调的挑战。最重要的是，分析表明，最有效和最具弹性的成果来自于将人工智能、物联网传感器和遥感等智能技术与海绵城市概念和绿色基础设施等国家统计局协同结合的混合战略。这种综合方法同时增强了预测预报、实时控制和流域恢复，同时也支持碳封存目标。该研究的结论是，超越“灰色”和“绿色”基础设施之间的传统二分法是至关重要的。我们提出了一个前瞻性的城市洪水抵御能力框架，支持适应性、数据知情治理、因地施策的混合解决方案，并加强国际合作，在气候风险不断升级的情况下建设可持续、公平的城市未来。

Climate change-related environmental challenges are increasingly impacting people’s lives, including their ability to enjoy outdoor activities. This study investigated what and how Canadian newspapers frame climate change and outdoor activities—focusing on leisure, recreation, and play. Data collection was conducted using the Canadian Newsstream database in English only. Media analysis was conducted, combining quantitative descriptive analysis and qualitative content analysis. Of 89 articles, the topic coverage has increased since 2008, with Ontario receiving the most attention. The most frequently discussed climate topics were general climate change, wildfires, and warm winters. Four key themes emerged in relation to the topic: adaptation, resilience, economic impacts, and Canadian-ness. Canadian media often framed the impact of climate change on outdoor activities as individual responsibility that can be resolved through personal adaptation and as a threat to national identity, culture, and intergenerational well-being. The findings highlight the media’s capacity to influence equitable policy change by shifting the narrative from individual responsibility towards structural determinants and by reframing outdoor activities as essential to national identity. This approach can help mobilize more inclusive, justice-oriented responses to climate-related disruptions in outdoor life across Canada.

与气候变化相关的环境挑战正日益影响着人们的生活，包括他们享受户外活动的能力。这项研究调查了加拿大报纸是如何以及如何将气候变化和户外活动联系起来的——重点是休闲、娱乐和游戏。数据收集仅使用加拿大新闻流数据库进行。媒介分析采用定量描述性分析与定性内容分析相结合的方法。在89篇文章中，自2008年以来，主题覆盖率有所增加，其中安大略省受到的关注最多。最常讨论的气候话题是气候变化、野火和暖冬。与该主题相关的四个关键主题出现了：适应、恢复力、经济影响和加拿大性。加拿大媒体经常将气候变化对户外活动的影响视为个人责任，可以通过个人适应来解决，并将其视为对国家认同、文化和代际福祉的威胁。调查结果突出了媒体影响公平政策变化的能力，将叙述从个人责任转向结构性决定因素，并将户外活动重新定义为对国家认同至关重要。这种方法可以帮助动员更具包容性、以正义为导向的反应，以应对加拿大各地与气候有关的户外生活中断。

The man-made environment significantly impacts human living conditions and building design, particularly in housing, by creating economic, psychosocial, policy, and environmental challenges. In polluted megacities like Tehran, innovative approaches are vital due to the adverse effects of current trends on living environments. Adaptive reuse, a sustainable strategy, revitalizes neighborhoods and enhances environmental conditions by repurposing existing structures. This study investigates whether vacant buildings within the urban fabric can address housing challenges through adaptive reuse for residential purposes and assesses the adaptive reuse potential of a factory using the ARP (Adaptive Reuse Potential) and adaptSTAR models, while identifying key design criteria for industrial building adaptive reuse per Iranian experts.

Using the ARP model developed by Langston, the study quantitatively evaluated a wood industries factory in Tehran’s Javadiyeh neighborhood, confirming its high adaptive reuse potential. The adaptSTAR model, also developed by Langston and colleagues as a complementary tool to ARP for ranking effective design criteria, was employed to incorporate insights from Iranian experts. Experts and users recommended residential-commercial use as the optimal secondary function. Analysis highlighted technology-related criteria, emphasizing the need for flexible structures and innovative methods in Iran’s urban fabric. Recommended strategies for successful adaptive reuse include flexible space design, appropriate materials for sustainability, strategic site selection, cultural adaptation, regulatory compliance for incentives, and incorporating green spaces for sustainability and mental health. These findings provide practical guidelines for sustainable neighborhood development and a foundation for broader urban research.

人造环境通过创造经济、社会心理、政策和环境方面的挑战，显著地影响着人类的生活条件和建筑设计，特别是在住房方面。在像德黑兰这样污染严重的大城市，创新的方法至关重要，因为目前的趋势对生活环境产生了不利影响。适应性再利用是一种可持续的策略，通过重新利用现有结构来振兴社区并改善环境条件。本研究调查了城市结构中的空置建筑是否可以通过住宅用途的适应性再利用来解决住房挑战，并使用ARP（适应性再利用潜力）和adaptSTAR模型评估工厂的适应性再利用潜力，同时根据伊朗专家确定工业建筑适应性再利用的关键设计标准。使用Langston开发的ARP模型，该研究定量评估了德黑兰Javadiyeh社区的一家木材工业工厂，确认了其高适应性再利用潜力。同样由Langston及其同事开发的adaptSTAR模型是ARP的补充工具，用于对有效的设计标准进行排名，该模型被用来整合来自伊朗专家的见解。专家和用户建议住宅和商业作为最佳的次要功能。分析强调了与技术相关的标准，强调在伊朗的城市结构中需要灵活的结构和创新的方法。成功的适应性再利用的建议策略包括灵活的空间设计、适合可持续发展的材料、战略选址、文化适应、激励的法规遵从性，以及为可持续发展和心理健康整合绿色空间。这些发现为可持续社区发展提供了实用指导，并为更广泛的城市研究奠定了基础。

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a major atmospheric pollutant with adverse health effects on humans. Moreover, CO can indirectly prolong the lifetime of methane and contribute to global warming. Therefore, understanding the spatial distribution of CO emissions is crucial for designing much-needed strategies to control this pollutant. In this work, a hybrid Weather Research & Forecasting–stochastic time-inverted Lagrangian transport (WRF-STILT)–Bayesian inversion framework was constructed to correct CO emissions over the Greater Bay Area (GBA) for February 2019 and February 2020. After adjusting CO emissions, the average root mean squared error (RMSE), normalized mean error (NME), and correlation coefficient (R) for the simulated CO concentrations in February 2019 and 2020 changed from 0.31 ppm to 0.12 ppm (a 61% reduction), 0.35 to 0.13 (a 63% reduction), and 0.47 to 0.87 (an 85% increase), respectively. The updated CO emissions were then used as input for the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx), a Eulerian model, to further validate the method. The results again indicated that the simulation performance was improved substantially, with a 58% increase in the average R value, a 62% reduction in the RMSE, and a 68% reduction in the NME. This validates the effectiveness of the proposed method in correcting CO emissions. According to the updated emission data, CO emissions over the GBA during the Spring Festival and the COVID-19 lockdown period were 8.3% and 19.6% lower than during normal periods, respectively. These results highlight the importance of accounting for such atypical events in emission estimation and air quality modeling. Analysis of the source areas contributing to CO concentrations in population centers of major GBA cities showed that the average contributions from local emissions and emissions from other GBA cities were 45.5% and 38.8%, respectively. The method developed in this work can be further used for CO adjustment in other regions and contribute to a deeper understanding of the characteristics of this important pollutant.

一氧化碳（CO）是一种对人类健康有不良影响的主要大气污染物。此外，CO可以间接延长甲烷的寿命，并促进全球变暖。因此，了解CO排放的空间分布对于设计控制这种污染物的急需策略至关重要。在这项工作中，构建了一个混合天气研究和预报-随机逆时拉格朗日输运(WRF-STILT) -贝叶斯反演框架，以校正2019年2月和2020年2月大湾区（GBA）的CO排放。调整CO排放后，2019年2月和2020年2月模拟CO浓度的平均均方根误差（RMSE）、归一化平均误差（NME）和相关系数(R)分别从0.31 ppm变为0.12 ppm（减少61%）、0.35变为0.13（减少63%）、0.47变为0.87（增加85%）。更新后的二氧化碳排放量被用作欧拉模型“综合空气质量扩展模型”（CAMx）的输入，以进一步验证该方法。结果再次表明，模拟性能得到了实质性的改善，平均R值增加了58%，RMSE减少了62%，NME减少了68%。这证实了所建议的方法在校正一氧化碳排放方面的有效性。根据最新的排放数据，春节和新冠肺炎封锁期间，大湾区的CO排放量分别比正常时期低8.3%和19.6%。这些结果突出了在排放估计和空气质量建模中考虑此类非典型事件的重要性。对大湾区主要城市人口中心CO浓度的贡献源区分析表明，大湾区主要城市本地排放和其他城市排放的平均贡献分别为45.5%和38.8%。这项工作中开发的方法可以进一步用于其他地区的CO调整，并有助于更深入地了解这一重要污染物的特征。

Rainfall-induced flooding disrupts social urban life, damages infrastructure, and spreads water-borne diseases, primarily due to rapid urbanisation, changing rainfall patterns, and inadequate drainage systems. This study assesses the combined impacts of climate change and urbanisation on the stormwater drainage networks (SWDN) of Dilla town, Ethiopia, using storm-water management models (EPASWMM 5.2, PCSWMM 7.5), ArcGIS, and climate scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The average performance of the SWDN) across six kebeles is poor (55.52 %), due to undersized and insufficient infrastructure. Future projections (2022–2053) indicate increased rainfall intensities of 31.34 mm/hr (RCP4.5) and 35 mm/hr (RCP8.5), exceeding the historical baseline. Over the past two decades, impervious surfaces have increased to 38.05 %, and residential areas expanded to 727.53 ha, rising impervious coverage from 27.83 % to 65.88 %. Sub-catchments SC1, SC6, SC7, SC10, SC17, SC25, SC35, and SC37 exhibit the highest peak runoff due to extensive impervious cover. This study uniquely integrates climate projections, urban growth analysis, and hydraulic modelling using PCSWMM to quantify compound flood risks, representing one of the first such applications in an Ethiopian secondary city. The framework and findings from Dilla are transferable to other rapidly growing sub-Saharan cities facing similar hydrological and infrastructural challenges.

降雨引发的洪水扰乱了城市社会生活，破坏了基础设施，并传播了水媒疾病，这主要是由于快速城市化、降雨模式变化和排水系统不足造成的。本研究利用雨水管理模型（EPASWMM 5.2、PCSWMM 7.5）、ArcGIS和气候情景RCP4.5和RCP8.5，评估了气候变化和城市化对埃塞俄比亚Dilla镇雨水排水网络（SWDN）的综合影响。由于规模不足和基础设施不足，六个kebeles的SWDN平均性能较差（55.52%）。未来预估（2022-2053）表明，降水强度将增加至31.34 mm/hr （RCP4.5）和35 mm/hr (RCP8.5)，超过历史基线。在过去的二十年中，不透水地表增加到38.05%，住宅面积扩大到727.53公顷，不透水覆盖率从27.83%增加到65.88%。子流域SC1、SC6、SC7、SC10、SC17、SC25、SC35和SC37由于广泛的不透水覆盖而表现出最高的峰值径流。该研究独特地将气候预测、城市增长分析和使用PCSWMM的水力建模整合在一起，量化了复合洪水风险，这是埃塞俄比亚二级城市的首次此类应用之一。Dilla的框架和研究结果可推广到其他面临类似水文和基础设施挑战的快速发展的撒哈拉以南城市。

Urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate-related shocks and chronic stresses, particularly in rapidly growing cities where infrastructure expansion and governance capacity have struggled to keep pace with urbanization. This study assesses facility-based urban resilience in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, utilising the 4R framework, which encompasses robustness, redundancy, rapidity, and resourcefulness. It employs a mixed-methods design that combines quantitative and qualitative research with secondary data. The findings illustrated that seasonal flooding and urban heatwaves are the most significant risks, with weighted risk indices of 78.9 and 73.27, respectively. A facility-level assessment reveals higher resilience among public schools, cultural & athletic facilities (0.59), distribution & supply facilities (0.56), disaster prevention facilities (0.55), and urban space facilities (0.55). Conversely, health and sanitary facilities (0.46) and environmental facilities (0.52) demonstrate weaker performance, particularly in redundancy and recovery speed. Additionally, the stakeholder assessment highlights strong emergency response and external support capacities; however, it also reveals limited integration and resources at the local authority and smart city initiative levels. Overall, the investigations suggest that strengthening institutional coordination and facility redundancy can be more effective for risk reduction than focusing solely on hazard exposure. The study provides actionable insights for resilience-focused planning and investment in rapidly growing, hazard-prone cities in the Global South.

城市地区越来越容易受到气候相关冲击和长期压力的影响，特别是在基础设施扩张和治理能力难以跟上城市化步伐的快速发展城市。本研究利用包含稳健性、冗余性、快速性和资源性的4R框架，评估了柬埔寨金边基于设施的城市韧性。它采用混合方法设计，将定量和定性研究与二手数据相结合。结果表明，季节性洪水和城市热浪是最显著的风险，加权风险指数分别为78.9和73.27。设施水平评估显示，公立学校、文化和体育设施（0.59）、配送和供应设施（0.56）、防灾设施（0.55）和城市空间设施（0.55）的恢复力较高。相反，保健和卫生设施（0.46）和环境设施（0.52）表现较弱，特别是在冗余和恢复速度方面。此外，利益攸关方评估强调了强有力的应急反应和外部支助能力；然而，它也揭示了地方当局和智慧城市倡议层面的整合和资源有限。总的来说，调查表明，加强机构协调和设施冗余比仅仅关注危害暴露更有效地降低风险。该研究为全球发展中国家快速增长、易发生灾害的城市开展以韧性为重点的规划和投资提供了可行见解。

Using the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as a case study, this research situates contemporary Gulf urbanism within the broader transformation of Arab cities toward increasingly dispersed and suburbanized forms. This transformation provides the basis for evaluating the feasibility of applying the x-minute city model in suburban contexts by examining the morphology and pedestrian accessibility of 77 neighborhood samples from seven cities across three developmental phases: pre-suburban, early-suburban, and new-suburban. Urban form attributes, including plot and network metrics, were quantified, and Gravity values were calculated for 5- and 10-minute walking thresholds, corresponding to 400- and 800-meter radii, to assess neighborhood alignment with x-minute city principles. Through this approach, the research empirically examines a common criticism of the x-minute city concept: that its emphasis on proximity and pedestrian accessibility is impractical in suburban contexts. While proximity is shaped by multiple spatial factors, the study focuses on density and street network configuration, the two determinants that most directly influence walkability and are often constrained in suburban environments. The findings demonstrate declining accessibility across the GCC, critically questioning contemporary suburban patterns relative to earlier forms of urbanism. Morphological design iterations applied to low-performing suburbs show that even modest increases in density and street connectivity can more than double Gravity values at both radii. This finding highlights the practical potential of targeted morphological adjustments to support the x-minute city model in future suburban development.

本研究以海湾合作委员会（GCC）为例，将当代海湾城市主义置于阿拉伯城市日益分散和郊区化的更广泛转型中。通过对7个城市的77个社区样本的形态和步行可达性进行研究，分析了前郊区、早期郊区和新郊区三个发展阶段，这一转变为评估在郊区背景下应用x分钟城市模型的可行性提供了基础。对城市形态属性（包括地块和网络指标）进行了量化，并计算了5分钟和10分钟步行阈值（对应于400米和800米半径）的重力值，以评估x分钟城市原则下的社区对齐。通过这种方法，研究实证检验了对x分钟城市概念的普遍批评：它强调邻近性和行人可达性在郊区环境中是不切实际的。虽然邻近性是由多个空间因素决定的，但该研究侧重于密度和街道网络配置，这两个决定因素最直接影响步行性，并且在郊区环境中通常受到限制。研究结果表明，海湾合作委员会的可达性正在下降，与早期的城市化形式相比，当代郊区模式受到了批判性的质疑。应用于低性能郊区的形态设计迭代表明，即使密度和街道连通性的适度增加也可以在两个半径上增加一倍以上的重力值。这一发现强调了有针对性的形态调整在未来郊区发展中支持x分钟城市模式的实际潜力。

The primary aim of the present research was to investigate the correlation between the level of airborne particulate matter (PM₁₀) and C-reactive protein(CRP) in healthy individuals residing in Zahedan. The study was supported from February 2024 to September 2024. Environmental samples were collected every 6 days and on days with high levels of dust in Zahedan due to its climatic conditions. The concentration of suspended particulate matter was measured during these collections. In addition, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was utilized to analyze the amount of CRP in the blood samples of 40 volunteers aged between 20 and 35 years under varying levels of air contamination. Throughout the study period, the average, minimum, and maximum concentrations of suspended particulate matter (PM₁₀) were recorded as 55, 212, and 500 µg /m³, respectively, signifying that PM₁₀ levels exceeded standard limits. Current evidence indicates that exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) contributes to a range of harmful health effects, primarily through systemic inflammation.

The levels of plasma CRP were notably higher during heightened air pollution conditions compared to normal conditions (p-value < 0.05). The concentration of suspended particles (PM₁₀) surpassed the permissible threshold on the majority of measurement days. A positive association was observed between dust concentration and CRP levels. Given the exacerbation of cardiovascular and respiratory ailments when the levels of suspended particulate matter exceed regulated standards, it is imperative to prioritize health programs and personal well-being.

本研究的主要目的是调查居住在扎黑丹的健康人群中空气中颗粒物（PM10）水平与c反应蛋白（CRP）之间的相关性。该研究从2024年2月到2024年9月得到支持。每6天收集一次环境样本，并在扎黑丹因其气候条件而粉尘含量高的日子收集样本。在这些收集过程中测量了悬浮颗粒物的浓度。此外，利用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）方法分析了40名年龄在20 - 35岁之间的志愿者在不同空气污染水平下血液样本中的CRP含量。在整个研究期间，记录的悬浮颗粒物（PM10）的平均、最小和最大浓度分别为55、212和500µg /m3，表明PM10水平超过了标准限值。目前的证据表明，暴露于环境颗粒物（PM）会导致一系列有害健康影响，主要是通过全身性炎症。在空气污染加剧的情况下，血浆CRP水平明显高于正常情况（p值<； 0.05）。悬浮颗粒物（PM10）浓度在大部分测量日均超过允许阈值。尘埃浓度与CRP水平呈正相关。考虑到当悬浮颗粒物水平超过规定标准时心血管和呼吸系统疾病的恶化，当务之急是优先考虑健康计划和个人福祉。

Urban waterfronts, as dynamic interfaces between land and water, face increasing vulnerability due to climate change-induced risks such as sea-level rise, flooding, and extreme weather events, compounded by anthropogenic pressures like urbanisation, pollution, and habitat loss. Traditional hard engineering solutions, while effective in structural resilience, often neglect ecological and social dimensions. Nature-based Solutions have emerged as transformative approaches capable of addressing these multifaceted challenges, offering multifunctional benefits that integrate ecological restoration, climate adaptation and urban liveability. Despite their potential, their application in urbanised waterfronts needs a better understanding, as these techniques have traditionally been adopted in landscapes where land availability allows for larger-scale ecological interventions. This study aims to address this research gap by systematically reviewing academic literature and analysing real-world case studies to examine how NbS are conceptualised, implemented and assessed in urban waterfront regeneration. The findings identified recurring frameworks, analytical dimensions and three strategic orientations: (1) retrofitting waterfront edges with hybrid green-grey solutions to enhance resilience and biodiversity, (2) systemic ecological restoration of degraded waterfront environments and (3) increasing permeability through water-sensitive urban systems. The analysis highlights the multifunctionality of NbS, their capacity to balance ecological, social, and infrastructural objectives, and the prevalence of hybrid approaches in more space-constrained contexts. However, gaps remain in post-implementation monitoring and long-term performance evaluation. This review underscores the need for operational guidelines to scale NbS in urban waterfronts, particularly in underrepresented regions, and emphasises their role as systemic interventions for adaptive urban resilience.

城市滨水区作为陆地和水域之间的动态界面，由于气候变化引发的风险（如海平面上升、洪水和极端天气事件）以及城市化、污染和栖息地丧失等人为压力，面临着越来越大的脆弱性。传统的硬工程解决方案虽然在结构弹性方面有效，但往往忽视了生态和社会层面。基于自然的解决方案已经成为一种变革性的方法，能够解决这些多方面的挑战，提供综合生态恢复、气候适应和城市宜居性的多功能效益。尽管它们具有潜力，但它们在城市化滨水区的应用需要更好的理解，因为这些技术传统上被采用在土地可用性允许大规模生态干预的景观中。本研究旨在通过系统地回顾学术文献和分析现实世界的案例研究来解决这一研究差距，以研究NbS如何在城市滨水区再生中概念化、实施和评估。研究结果确定了反复出现的框架、分析维度和三个战略方向：(1)用绿灰混合解决方案改造滨水边缘，以增强弹性和生物多样性；(2)对退化的滨水环境进行系统生态修复；(3)通过水敏感型城市系统增加渗透率。分析强调了国家统计局的多功能性，它们平衡生态、社会和基础设施目标的能力，以及在空间更有限的情况下混合方法的流行。但是，在执行后监测和长期业绩评价方面仍然存在差距。本综述强调了在城市滨水区（特别是代表性不足的地区）扩大NbS规模的操作指南的必要性，并强调了它们作为适应性城市韧性的系统性干预措施的作用。

This study examines the impact of needs-based urban facility configurations within 15-minute life circles on the emotions of residents, as well as variations across multiple dimensions. By integrating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory with multisource big data, we employ the entropy weight-TOPSIS (E-TOPSIS) model, city hotspot detector (CHD) clustering, large language model-based sentiment analysis, and mixed linear models (MLM) to analyse the geotagged social media data from Guangzhou in 2023 and 2024. The results show that needs-based urban facility configurations within 15-minute life circles significantly improve residents’ emotions, with marked differences across life circle types (H1). The emotional enhancement effect exhibits an overall marginal diminishing trend, with heterogeneity across administrative districts (H2). This study demonstrates the importance of needs-based configurations for enhancing residents’ emotions, extends the returns of urban facility development to include both “psychological returns” and “economic returns,” and offers a new perspective for the co-development of residents and cities.

本研究考察了15分钟生活圈内基于需求的城市设施配置对居民情绪的影响，以及多个维度的变化。通过将马斯洛需求层次理论与多源大数据相结合，采用熵权topsis （E-TOPSIS）模型、城市热点探测器（CHD）聚类、基于大语言模型的情感分析和混合线性模型（MLM）对广州市2023年和2024年地理标签社交媒体数据进行了分析。结果表明，15分钟生活圈内基于需求的城市设施配置显著改善了居民情绪，且不同生活圈类型差异显著（H1）。情绪增强效应总体上呈现边际递减趋势，且在行政区域间存在异质性（H2）。本研究论证了基于需求的配置对于提升居民情感的重要性，将城市设施发展的回报扩展到“心理回报”和“经济回报”，为居民与城市的共同发展提供了新的视角。
