Introduction:Over time we have been focusing on SDGs and sustainability more broadly and more recently on Decarbonisation of our Cities and entire supply chains for the built environment. Our next focus and that of the future will evolve to cover striking issues of Circular Economy, Resilience and Regeneration. These take a systems approach to design and planning considerations which go beyon...
Introduction:The SDG Goals provide a framework for all professional actions though it may seem broad. Design and planning professionals have increasingly found ways to deliver buildings and cities which reduce human impact on the ecological systems and improve well being of communities. However, under conditions of what we now call ‘climate emergency’ the actions needed are much more urgent...
Introduction:I am interested in architectural form. In this lecture, I would like to use examples from American architecture to tell the fun of architectural form. Architectural forms have their basic prototype, which is then transformed to suit the needs of particular place and/or time. This process of transformation is the work of design. Additionally, there are also forms that do not take ...
Topic:In Pursuit of Sustainable CitiesIntroduction:From the perspective of urban development, with sustainable development as the goal, discuss the non-utopian reality, and pursue the concept of sustainable and resilient urban development. Lecturer:Prof. Mark Hoistad, University of Nebraska-LincolnInvolved in professional practice since 1977, Professor Mark Hoistad has had the opportunity to de...

Introduction:In the domain of theoretical model development of the decision making of individual people, it has been a concern of how to deal with the choices under uncertain situations. Traditional theoretical models in this case are normally not directly applicable in terms of the theoretical foundations. In this presentation, I would like to introduce the development of a prospect theoreti...
Introduction:Locational data such as phone record data, GPS data, smart card data, have become increasing popular in various research fields including urban planning, transportation, geography and environmental science. Traditional small scales of trajectory data often come together with rich information of individuals. However, large scale big data often does not have any data related to the p...
Introduction:The spatial planning system has a long history internationally, mainly including the Anglo-American spatial planning system based on the maritime law system and the Continent spatial planning system. Integrating the Anglo-American and Continent experiences with their conditions, the spatial planning system of East Asian countries generally has more strict planning formation and b...
Introduction:Machine learning methods have been hot for some years and have been applied also in the wide scope of urban and transportation planning. In terms of the decision making issue, however, researchers and policy makers commonly demand a model that is both interpretable and predictable in the sense the model warrants not only a good predictability but also generates enhanced understandi...
