The landscape architecture in China since 1920, in the form of professional courses have appeared in the college curriculum has been 100 years of development, has experienced a long evolution among this, also gradually had different development model, this article deals with the landscape architecture discipline, is mainly refers to contain the agricultural science and engineering under the two categories of the development of landscape architecture discipline. Under the two different categories, the discipline of landscape architecture has made great progress at first, but there are also some problems that it is not closely integrated with the industry and industrial development. At the same time, under the development of the two categories, it is also faced with some limitations, and professional talents have not been fully developed. In view of such problems in the development of landscape architecture in China, through integrating the articles on landscape architecture education and teaching through importing citespace, this paper puts forward Suggestions and countermeasures for the development of landscape architecture in China from the perspectives of social development, the change of educational platform and the standards of professional education. At the same time we will also in the field of landscape architecture education in citespace the most outstanding contribution to the study of the top ten a sort of school, and in the field of landscape architecture is different for each school is carried out on the professional set up an integrated, found that most of these colleges, will garden (agriculture), and landscape architecture (engineering) setting in a college, so to strengthen the exchanges and cooperation between the two majors, only in this way can better adapt to the modern society to the demand for professional talents of landscape architecture. With the development of the Times, people are pursuing higher and higher quality of life, so the discipline of landscape architecture will play a more important role in the future.

China is a big family of 56 different nationalities, different nationalities have their unique habits and ways of living. This is closely related to its historical background and geographical location.

Besides, the authors will put forward and explain the problems facing the Dongzhai drum tower. The Dong nationality is one of the oldest ethnic minorities in China, the structure and layout of the drum tower have high research value. Through the study of this assignment, the authors have a deeper understanding of the architectural form and structure of this area, on this basis, the authors also have more thoughts and ideas about the protection of traditional buildings.

With the continuous process of urbanisation, urban redevelopment and urban regeneration has become a topic of increasing importance in the field of urban planning in recent years. The pursuit of economic efficiency in the implementation of policies and the physical and economic adjustments caused by urban regeneration has led to gentrification. On the one hand, gentrification can improve communities, provide infrastructure, and attract more investment and competitiveness; but on the other hand, gentrification can also lead to an increase in living costs, social polarisation and the displacement of former low-income residents. The paper argues that there is no regeneration without gentrification, but causing a degree of gentrification is a justifiable outcome of a regeneration scheme. The negative effects of gentrification can be reduced by empowering local communities, increasing social housing and encouraging community led regeneration to create a more inclusive urban regeneration.

As the search for sustainable cities lingers the rhetoric of the vulnerability of cities in Africa elicits reconsideration. This paper contends that the vulnerability of cities in Africa extends beyond environmental adversities to include spatial distortions and disconnects in the form and function of urban regions that are referred to as structural adversities. The paper argues that the policy instruments of modern urban governance oversights these adversities. Thus the adversities remain as a continuous process that impacts city development, forcing cities in Africa to adopt informal strategies to manage productivity. Amongst other implications, the adversities have the potentials to upset the city-centered paradigm of new regionalism in Africa. This paper adopts the annals approach to rework the adversities and in the process rethink the function of the city in Africa.

The Metropolitan Area of San Salvador in El Salvador has a growing vulnerability due to multiple hazards (landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, erosion and climate change, water contamination and poor waste management), overpopulation with an accelerated and unplanned urban growth. These conditions prevent the economic, social and environmental growth of the country, challenging the Council of Majors and Planning Office of the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador (COAMSS/OPAMSS) to make adequate decisions about land use. The initiative aims to regulate land use including thematic such as sustainable buildings, public spaces, land use for soft mobility, geomorphology, geology, volcanology, hydrology, groundwater management, hydraulic, unsaturated soil mechanics and engineering geology for the control and planning of the territory. Some of the topics are already introduced in the metropolitan regulation, in order to prevent future problems and increase the quality of life of the population, searching and promoting resilience and sustainability for the Metropolitan Area. With the initiative, there has been an improvement in the decision making of the land use procedures and building a better city.

Transportation system is known as a complex system composed of multiple variables and linear/non-linear feedback loops influenced by economic, geographical, social and environmental factors. Transport modeling is commonly proposed to evaluate and simulate the performance of system with or without inter-relations on transport system. In the present research work, system dynamics approach is utilized for modeling and simulating the intercity transportation in order to access the effects of fuel price on intercity roads traffic volume. The proposed model consists of internal interactions and relations on intercity transport system as well as simulation for validation. Sensitivity analysis has been done based on four scenarios on various fuel price increment rates of 5％, 15％, 20％ and 25％ in three different periods of five, ten and twenty years, known respectively as short, medium and long term periods. Simulation results revealed that during the above mentioned periods, commercial traffic on intercity roads are linearly grown up while the increasing rates of fuel prices has remarkable impacts on daily traveled vehicles over the intercity roads. Therefore, national authorities who are dealing with setting fuel prices should notice that policies on fuel prices have smooth impacts on intercity road traffic and should be carefully studied and investigated before taking decision.

City is place inhabited by human beings. The level of how we concern about sharing urban public space reflects not only the level of development of citys politic, economy and civilization, but also the level of integration between people and city. Shared garden (Jardin partagé) refers to garden collectively managed and shared by residents in urban or rural area, which land composed of urban public green space, residential green space, urban idle land, etc. According to the 13th Five-Year Plan of China, Public green space in China will increase from 5 m2/p in 2005 to 12 m2/p in 2020. How to use, manage and share these green spaces? How to make these green spaces grow effectively? Citizens sharing and safeguarding of this public resource is key issue of whether city is viable and sustainable. Based on all these factors, the thesis explores sharing mechanism of urban public space by studying planning and distribution of shared gardens, citizen participation, and construction management mechanism and so on, provides experience for public space construction problems currently faced by domestic cities. Gradually realization of urban public space co-constructing and sharing mechanism to enhance citys comfort and harmony.

This research builds on the conversation about the relationship between space and people, with the focus on the anthropology of space and the introduction of state of play (engagement) which in the framework of BRICS, as described in the case studies of Brazil and China. The modern colonial geographies’ viewpoint may urge us to rethink these notions with the emergence of alternative functions of some spaces, and the re-imagination of urban space by what it may be named global modernity. At the local, regional, national and global context, space is not an empty element, but is complicated mixture of social and public relations and meanings. The intend contrast between the Sao Paulo site - Parque Minhocão and Shanghai space - Redtown was to identify some key factors regarding why one space “works” for play and one does not. Redtown can be defined as the still birth of an incubator, and as such provides a means for investigating the reasons as to why it does not work as a planned arts hub, including the reasons it never worked as a site of play. The Parque Minhocão in contrast is an urban phenomenon that can be considered in the context of the urban space of São Paulo, and as a spontaneous emergence of urban construction with the planned interactions between residents in the surrounding areas, visitors and place.

Advancements in the field of communications are moving towards the internet of things (IoTs). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) can be used to monitor environmental conditions such as pollution using independent sensors communicating with each other using the IoTs technology thereby leading to a more accurate environmental monitoring system. Air pollution is a critical environmental challenge which is a major concern in cities and will have to be reduced if cities are to be regarded as smart cities. It has negative short and long term effects on human health that would deter people from moving to cities which would ultimately prevent economic growth. Therefore, the air pollution around the city and along traffic routes could be monitored using WSN nodes. In this work, the stationary nodes around the city would be deployed periodically to collect pollution data from sensors at the node. These data would be stored locally in its memory with a time and location stamp. Mobile nodes placed on public buses, buildings and vehicles would wirelessly collect the data as they pass by the stationary nodes. The data would then be processed once the nodes arrived back at the pollution monitoring system. In the proposed architecture, the stationary nodes run on ZigBee standard while the mobile nodes run on fifth generation (5G) and Long-time evolution (LTE).

Flooding is one of the climate change natural disasters generated by human activities which constitute a threat to human life, property and the built environment. Although risks from such cannot be fully eliminated, however, adaptation to climate change can reduce the exposure and vulnerability to extreme climate and sustain the built environment. This work surveyed literature on climate change flooding and its effects on Nigerian built environment to find out that most developed nations with longer water bodies and greater exposure to flooding disaster have been able to curtail the negative effects of climate change induced flooding over the years than Nigeria were able to minimize the negative effects of climate change flooding on their built environment whereas, Nigeria with comparable minimum and manageable length of water bodies continuously have higher negative impacts from flooding. The application of adaptation theory will mitigate against the effect of climate change flooding and lead to the achievement of a sustainable built environment in Nigeria. The work eventually recommended concerted efforts of all stakeholders in the built environment to cooperate among themselves for the actualization of gains of adaptation approach to climate change flooding in Nigeria towards achieving sustainable built environment.

Conceptual work within the manifold fields of Urban Studies is of utmost importance for educating the next generation of decisionmakers for future challenges and chances with regards to society and environment. The paper aims at providing some proven examples of creative ideas and activities to heighten the students’ awareness in secondary education about these topics and to instigate their curiosity towards the different aspects of urban design in general. The authors strive to enable their students not only to describe their environment (positive and negative aspects of urban development and future planning), but also to take part in changing it and thus securing their own rightful position in the political and creative process. Most work was done at different secondary schools all across Europe connected by the international European programmes of Comenius/Erasmus+, supported by the European Union.

University Technology Industrial Park as an independent economic entity, facing future unpredictable investment situation, its own spatial adaptability for different research enterprises on architectural space requirements is the key to sustainable development of the park. The planning and design of Southwest University of Science, considering the actual terrain of the base, adopting the modulus space, combining with the design modes of the network group and the courtyard group, the 8m×8m grid is superimposed in the base and the building module layout. In the planning structure, the design from the perspective of spatial flexibility, though the wrong and deformation techniques, and ultimately the formation of a unified style and rich form of architectural space. After the modularization of the building, the regular column network not only has a good economy, but also according to their own needs, flexible division of indoor space for settling scientific research units and enterprises. The spatial pattern created by the planning and design has good flexibility, successfully solved the problem of spatial flexibility, and solved the layout of the various functional zoning of the park. Additionally, adapting the layout of the different investment subjects lays the functional foundation for the smooth investment.
