“…The Shanghai World Expo Houtan Wetland Park is a clear case in point. There are approximately 16 hectares of wetlands in the park, which can accommodate many wild birds as their habitats, the original old park's wetlands are mostly isolated with hard paving around them, the rebuilt park has abandoned the hard paving and replaced it with wild plants suitable for wetland growth, which has prevented wetland flooding and greatly improved the ecological integrity of the entire park [4].…”

In order to better understand the application of optimization simulation for industrial waste land reuse, the author proposes an application study based on nonlinear genetic algorithm in the optimization simulation of industrial waste land reuse. The author takes the landscape renovation and reuse of industrial waste sites as the research object, and through research on the current situation of landscape renovation and reuse of industrial waste sites both domestically and internationally, as well as on-site inspections, attempts to use landscape design techniques to deal with this once glorious but destructive industrial landscape that has already declined. Secondly, a genetic algorithm for enhancing the timeliness of industrial waste land reuse is proposed, which is based on random walks, combine users' long-term and short-term preferences to calculate the most suitable Top-N industrial waste land reuse optimization model for the current period. Finally, the two algorithms proposed by the author were experimentally validated on the dataset. In the CiteU Like dataset, the best performance was achieved at a=0.4, while in the JD dataset, the best performance was achieved at a=0.6. When k=6, the hit rate significantly decreases by about 50%. The URT-R genetic algorithm exhibits a high recommendation hit rate in recommendations targeting timeliness. The author analyzed the different characteristics of industrial waste reuse in scenic areas and optimized their essence and transformation methods, further improving the transformation and renewal methods of industrial waste land in the process of urban development in China. I hope to provide useful references for future research on related topics and practices.

“…Against this backdrop, foresight has been incorporated into city-region planning for different purposes such as land use-transportation (Bartholomew, 2007; Lyons et al , 2021; Mäntysalo et al , 2022), energy transitions (Dixon et al , 2014; Tatar et al , 2020), urban ecosystem services (Liu and Wu, 2022), climate change (Carter, 2018), engaging the community in the interim reuse of urban derelicts (Costa et al , 2021) and aging society (Gudowsky et al , 2017), to mention but a few.…”

Purpose Due to the limitations of conventional urban planning, it is essential to develop novel techniques of urban futruing. This paper aimed to use the scenario technique to create four plausible narratives of the future of Isfahan. Also, the authors described the problems of city foresight in the Global South. Design/methodology/approach This paper chronicles the Schwartzian steps taken to build explorative scenarios of Isfahan City in Iran in 2040. After using a STEEPV (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economic, Political, Value) analysis, the authors prioritized the collected variables by combining influence diagrams, the iceberg metaphor and an expert-based survey. Once the key uncertainties were derived, four scenarios were developed and discussed. Findings Through thematic analysis of the official visions of Isfahan’s future and the juxtaposition of these narratives with insight yielded in the scenario-development process, the paper concludes that the Northernness of the prevailing urban imaginaries, uncritical mimetic benchmarking, depoliticization of urban futures and the decorative reductionistic visions colonize urban futures in Isfahan/Iran. Critical/deconstructive city foresight and application of discomfort/ignorance criteria in the generation of scenarios can improve the rigor and quality of city foresight in the Global South. Originality/value The application of city foresight in the Global South has been limited. The paper is a step toward bridging this gap and providing some recommendations on how city foresight in the Global South might differ from its counterparts in the Global North.

“…It initially appeared as an informal expression but is now a deliberate post-recession tactical urbanism tool used by planners, politicians, and urbanists. Interim reuse describes the use of abandoned spaces between prior discontinued use and future use by activities that may be temporary or permanent but are not definitive (Costa et al, 2021). The interim use of urban voids highlights the positive aspect of temporariness by increasing public accessibility and bringing people together with a shared purpose (Costa et al, 2021).…”

The interim use of urban voids highlights the positive aspect of temporariness by increasing public accessibility and bringing people together with a shared purpose (Costa et al, 2021). The term "Zwischennutzung" or "In-between use" refers to the use of a location in the gap between formal and planned uses (Louekari, 2006).…”

According to the United Nations declarations in 2019, cities, as humanity’s primary living habitat, will accommodate 68% of the world’s population by 2050. The more people settle in urban centres, the more severe the impacts are on ecosystems and the climate. Due to rapid urbanisation, the number of unused and under-managed urban spaces or “Urban voids” is rising. However, regenerative approaches can turn urban voids into assets to combat climate change and environmental issues. The regenerative design promotes ecological systems to regrow by allowing every urban component, like houses, workplaces, and neighbourhoods, to flourish ecologically. This research starts with reviewing related terms for urban voids beside a fundamental approach towards utilising them, “Interim re-use.” With these in hand, the research’s methodology mapped 577 urban voids in its “Balat and Fener” case study, two juxtaposing historical districts in Istanbul, Turkey. The study goes on to classify the mapped urban voids into six distinctive types. The classification of urban voids is done using a decision tree model with five features that are assigned binary values. The features are as follows: “Ownership,” “Debris,” “Economic activity,” “Seal,” and “Leisure facilities.” The next phase evaluates each parcel based on ecological criteria; each void is rated through a Likert scale in terms of “Vegetation,” “Permeability,” “Ruggedness,” and “Enclosure,” and thence, receives an ecological identity. After each parcel is classified and assigned its ecological identity, a two-phased treatment approach composed of twelve solutions is applied. Suppose the subject lacks the fundamental prerequisites, such as a permeable surface. In that case, proper land preparation solutions will be applied, and based on their ecological identity, they then receive the second phase’s applications. In conclusion, following the guidelines proposed in this paper, the decision-makers can treat urban voids to become more ecologically thriving and enhance their ecological performance.
