Creation and management of sustainable cities
It is anticipated that due to depopulation and global environmental issues cities will shrink instead of expanding continuously.In this context, the modern city planning methodologies need to be reviewed to reflect the current status of urbanization, which can therefore contribute to creating rich, dynamic,and sustainable cities.
Our study focuses on the techniques for measuring the shrinking cities and the maintenance technologies in the advanced urbanized societies and advice on how to achieve sustainable cities, which can take advantage of the regional characteristics. We conduct research on the city systems, regional planning, and management systems of the cities that fully utilize participation and consultation offered by diversified bodies, including national and local governments, citizens, and NPOs. We also carry on comparative research on European cities and especially refer to the French cities.
