“…Many colonial cities in China were consecutively or simultaneously developed under multiple colonisers, making it vital to scrutinise different cultural impacts on the urban fabric. For instance, Qingdao, once colonised by Germany then Japan, retains historical precincts and dwellings under both cultures' influences [57] . For cities like Qingdao, it is a challenging necessity for researchers to identify manifold styles and contexts under which the urban fabric was developed.…”

Harbin, located in Northeast China, is the provincial capital of Heilongjiang province, the People’s Republic of China. The city was one of the most crucial junction cities on the Chinese Eastern Railway built in the early 1900s, which connected Russia and China. Russian migrants had a significant impact on the rapid urbanisation and industrialisation of Harbin and Russian features can be identified from Harbin’s urban planning, which is unique to other major Chinese cities. However, there is limited research on Russian influence on Harbin’s urban development during the Russian colonial period from 1898 to 1931, which is the focus of this paper. Field observation, map analysis, and desktop research were conducted to collect qualitative data. This study addresses the importance of Russian colonial impact on Harbin’s urban planning and the heritage conservation of the city’s historical urban fabric. Findings of this research can help researchers and local authorities understand the uniqueness and value of Russian inspired city planning. It will also be beneficial to the development of appropriate conservation guidelines which are applicable to Harbin and to other Chinese cities previously under colonial influence.

“…Rather, they should be seen as interconnected factors, which have had various impacts on the decision-making and production of discourses, often depending on national and regional interplays of competing modes of development. Besides, there are other important themes such as the patrimonilisation of natural and cultural resources, which are equally important in Chinese urbanisation; we can observe these, for example, in the countless national and regional campaigns, planning projects and social movements of place-making related to the UNESCO's 'Intangible Cultural Heritage' (Chen 2017;Demgenski 2019). Furthermore, although the book claims to 'provide a holistic examination of the rise of Pudong' (p. 19), and the authors often mention 'a top-down and bottom-up interaction' (p. 33) or the 'social dimensions of the contemporary sustainability imperative' (p. 173), the descriptions and analyses are largely limited to the top-down practices of planning.…”

“…Moreover, many projects are rejected because investors cannot obtain financing. In addition, the different needs and expectations of stakeholders and different perceptions of the project are sometimes not recognized or respected, and this may give rise to conflicts [11,12]. Shared urban regeneration planning is an opportunity to understand how stakeholders perceive urban heritage and how they can contribute [13].…”

The human factor plays an important role in the successful design of infrastructure to support sustainable mobility. By engaging users early in the design process, information can be obtained before physical environments are built, making designed spaces more attractive and safer for users. This study presents the collected data of a virtual reality (VR) application in which user perception has been evaluated within an urban redevelopment context. The area under consideration is the Canal of the Port of Rimini (Italy), a degraded area not connected to the city center. The redevelopment of degraded urban areas is the first step towards achieving the sustainability aims set out in the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to this work, evaluation methods were developed in the decision-making process, considering different social, economic, and environmental aspects in order to obtain a priority scale of interventions for urban regeneration. Architectural solutions were proposed to represent targeted and specific interventions that are designed precisely for the context to which they are dedicated in order to make the Canal Port area a continuum with its urban context and to improve its perception by tourists and inhabitants. To assess these proposed infrastructure modifications, two models of VR were created, one relevant to the current condition and one representing the future condition after redevelopment of the area. Virtual visits to the Canal of the Port of Rimini were created under two scenarios, namely, the current situation and the future situation after redevelopment of the infrastructure. Then, human participants were involved through two different questionnaires. The first allowed participants validate the VR model created by comparing it with the real context, while the second served to evaluate the perceptions of users by comparing the two VR models of the canal before and after the intervention. The results of this empirical research highlight the benefits of engaging users early in the design process and improving the user experience before implementing renovation of the infrastructure.
