It aims to identify the design principles which have been followed in practice, those design elements which have been considered by designers and planners as part of development control, and the extent to which urban design outcomes have been adopted in specific legal plans. It examines 14 urban design cases from Nanjing which were produced in conjunction with the relevant legal plans between 2009 and 2013. The study suggests that in China, urban design has been facing a number of challenges, including limited coverage of design elements, inconsistencies in the design principles followed, an incompatibility between design outcomes and legal plans, and an underestimation of the role of urban design in the delivery process of development control.

  • According to Framework Directive 96/62/EC, Preliminary Assessment As a Tool for Air Quality Monitoring Network Design in a Chinese City
    According to Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment as a tool for Air Quality Monitoring Network Design in a Chinese city I. Allegrini1, C. Paternò1, M. Biscotto1, W. Hong2, F. Liu2, Z. Yin2 & F. Costabile1 1Institute for Atmospheric Pollution, Italian National Research Council, Rome, Italy 2Environmental Monitoring Centre, Suzhou, P.R. China Abstract In the framework of the Sino-Italian Program in which the Italian Ministry of Environment and Territory is participating, an Air Quality Monitoring System in the City of Suzhou (China) was implemented by the Institute for Atmospheric Pollution of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IIA). As stated in Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment of air quality is a very important step in the identification of sites for fixed monitoring stations. To that end, 100 saturation stations, equipped with passive samplers for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia and BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene), were set up. The concentration values of these pollutants, coming from three campaigns carried out in Suzhou, were represented and explored by using the Arcview 8.2 software with Geostatistical Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions. The interpolation was carried out using the two most important interpolation models (Inverse Distance Weighting and Ordinary Kriging). With reference to each campaign, pollution maps related to each interpolation model and to each pollutant were produced. Finally, a map with the definitive siting of the fixed monitoring stations was produced. Keywords: air quality monitoring system, preliminary assessment, pollutant distribution maps, passive samplers. Air Pollution XII, C. A.

  • Urban Governance of Economic Upgrading Processes in China the Case of Guangzhou Science City
    Internationales Asienforum, Vol. 41 (2010), No. 1–2, pp. 57–82 Urban Governance of Economic Upgrading Processes in China The Case of Guangzhou Science City FRIEDERIKE SCHRÖDER / MICHAEL WAIBEL Introduction China’s export-oriented regions such as the so-called “factory of the world” – the Pearl River Delta1 (PRD) in south China – have been particularly affected by the global financial and economic crisis. Thousands of migrants mostly working in the low value-added manufacturing sector were laid off due to the closure of plants virtually overnight. However, the crisis hit the region in the middle of a deliberately planned economic upgrading process encouraging the shift of its economic structure from labor-intensive manu- facturing towards higher value-added services and high-tech2 industries. This upgrading process is embedded in the national “Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta (2008 to 2020)” initiated by the National Reform and Development Commission. Hereby, national and provincial governments are seeking to build up a more advanced industrial system by prioritizing the development of modern service industries such as _______________ 1 The PRD is variously defined. In our paper we use this term to include the cities of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, as well as parts of Huizhou and Zhaoqing. This priority development area was designated as “Pearl River Delta Open Economic Region” by the State Council of People Government of China in the mid-1980s (Philipps & Yeh, 1990). The inclusion of the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao in this spatial entity is commonly referred to as the so- called “Greater Pearl River Delta”.

Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 3 September 2019; Published: 6 September 2019 Abstract: Ecological compensation is an effective means to adjust relationships among stakeholders in order to conserve and/or sustainably use ecosystem services. The current ecological compensation standards (ECS) do not well reflect the differences in ecological, social, and economic development. Thus, we took a typical urbanization area (the Suzhou–Wuxi–Changzhou region) in China as an example, because of its prominent contradiction between rapid socio-economic development and fragile ecosystem. Combined with the ecological, economic, and social conditions, the methods of ecosystem service value (ESV) evaluation, cluster analysis, and scenario analysis were used to propose an optimized spatial zoning method and optimal development scenario. Then, the ECS by different zones were determined by using ESV assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and contingent valuation method.

China) in 2003, with the aim to determine the rep- resentativeness of zones where to monitor air quality. 100 sites were selected to measure 15-days average concentrations of SO2,NOx,NO2,O3,NH3, Benzene, Toluene and Xylene in winter and summer. The distribution trend of NO and NO2, as well as the ratio of NO2/NOx was used to identify the heavy traffic polluted zones and design a network of monitoring sta- tions (macrositing). NO2/NOx ratios varied throughout the two selected seasons and from site to site clearly demonstrating the different extent and completeness of NO → NO2 oxidation processes in time and space. The exceedance frequencies of pollutants was used to design the type of monitoring equipment to be installed at each station (micrositing). An air quality monitoring network composed by 9 monitoring stations has been finally established in 2004 according to the result of this survey and is now currently running. Key Words: Air Pollution, Air Quality, Monitoring Network, NO2/NOx Ratio, Representa- tiveness emission factors (emission rates as a function of speed and 1.

Since the Reform and Opening- up Policy in 1978, major cities in China have experienced significant polycentric transition manifested by their new spatial policy framework and reshaped spatial structure. The polycentric transformation has provoked academics’ interests on structural and performance analysis in quantitative ways recently. However, little research investigates the nature of (re)formation and implementation of polycentric development policies in Chinese cities from a processual and critical perspective.

In this period, industrialization and urbanization kept pushing forward. Thus, the conflicts between rural and urban development deteriorated and social migration is increasing. The largest dualistic economy entity in the world is changing. During this period, resource consumption increases rapidly in volume and environmental pressure continues to increase. In fact, China’s urban planning system play an important role for its development and growth as well as resource and environmental problems. This paper will discuss the great changes of the China’s urban planning system and have a Beijing case study during that time.

    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.
