“…The outputs are intended to educate decisionmaking, encourage collaborative action, and promote thoughtful leadership to achieve transformative change toward sustainability and resilient urban futures [60,65]. Academics have also shown concern over the existing knowledge gap in practical frameworks to assess methods for urban sustainability [60] that remains fragmented and lacks interdisciplinary perspectives [61]. Due to the growing relevance of such education, a number of university curricula have started to focus on establishing urban sustainability education programs and courses.…”

Cities are hubs of social and cultural activity, and culture is key to what makes cities creative, and sustainable. The Post-2015 Development Agenda has prioritized culture and how it may help people and communities create the future they desire. The study aims to determine the link between cultural heritage and urban sustainability and how multidisciplinary education can help organize urban issues. The article is of relevance to the emerging multicultural urban society with wide socio-economic disparities straining the global urban resilience and posing a challenge for future policy implementation. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Dimension database, and the results were analyzed using VOS viewer. The study also employed the PRISMA quantitative approach for selection criteria. This paper has identified understudied themes including community heritage, sustainable urban governance, and behavioral and multidisciplinary approaches. It is strongly felt that undertaking this study will not only add to the literature in cultural heritage study but also help further multidisciplinary and knowledge-based inquiry, which is currently evolving in the academic domain. Therefore, urban academics have a duty to resolve the issue confronting global urban sustainability and cultural disputes. Future research is required to simplify the current complex issue to make it more relevant and inclusive.

“…These stages are iterative rather than linear, and researchers are encouraged to intuitively engage with each stage where needed (Mushaya et al, 2022). Following Chaiechi (2020) and Azzali et al (2022), the article established review strategies in the form of an a priori protocol, including developing a guiding question and identifying eligibility criteria (as represented in Figure 1 and Table 1), search strategy and literature profiling techniques. The guiding question used to search for articles was: What are the economic impacts of urban mobility and healthy cities?…”

“…Heterodox economics explains the economic processes of external events and disasters as a non-equilibrium phenomenon that opposes classical equilibrium economic theories (Chaiechi, 2020). Recent studies have broadly discussed the economic impacts of external risks and threats such as climate change, natural disasters, and public health emergencies.…”

Urbanisation, urban mobility (active travel), and public health continue to be three defining issues of the 21st century. Today, more than half of humanity lives in cities, a proportion that is expected to reach 70% by 2050. Not surprisingly, urbanisation has significant impacts on mobility, health, and well-being. Today’s cities struggle with health challenges such as those that are either a direct result of infectious and non-communicable diseases or issues related to violence and injuries. According to the World Health Organisation, the lack of suitable space in urban areas for physical activities and active living has turned cities into epicentres for diseases. The concept of urban mobility and its connection to health is not new. However, the ways through which a healthy city objective is achieved are poorly investigated in the academic literature. Accordingly, this article proposes a holistic conceptual framework by consolidating knowledge around factors impacting urban mobility by adopting a scoping review methodology to determine the field’s scope, coverage, and existing knowledge gap. To achieve the above objectives, 3,189 research articles and book chapters published between 2014 and 2021 were screened. A total of 92 studies were identified as eligible for inclusion in the scoping review. This approach revealed the importance of understanding urban mobility and healthy cities and of identifying and enacting associated enablers. Covid-19 has amplified the urgency of giving attention to these issues. The scoping review also showed a need for further research that investigates the future of urban mobility and healthy cities. A conceptual framework has been drawn from the literature to guide such future research.

“…The N-gram method is based on the hidden Markov chain assumption that the text information at the current position is only relevant to a finite number of text units before that position, without having to take all the previous contents into account [20]. According to such an assumption, a large-scale reduction of the training data can be achieved, thus improving the training efficiency of the model.…”

In this paper, we conduct in-depth research and analysis on the intelligent recognition and teaching of English fuzzy text through parallel projection and region expansion. Multisense Soft Cluster Vector (MSCVec), a multisense word vector model based on nonnegative matrix decomposition and sparse soft clustering, is constructed. The MSCVec model is a monolingual word vector model, which uses nonnegative matrix decomposition of positive point mutual information between words and contexts to extract low-rank expressions of mixed semantics of multisense words and then uses sparse. It uses the nonnegative matrix decomposition of the positive pointwise mutual information between words and contexts to extract the low-rank expressions of the mixed semantics of the polysemous words and then uses the sparse soft clustering algorithm to partition the multiple word senses of the polysemous words and also obtains the global sense of the polysemous word affiliation distribution; the specific polysemous word cluster classes are determined based on the negative mean log-likelihood of the global affiliation between the contextual semantics and the polysemous words, and finally, the polysemous word vectors are learned using the Fast text model under the extended dictionary word set. The advantage of the MSCVec model is that it is an unsupervised learning process without any knowledge base, and the substring representation in the model ensures the generation of unregistered word vectors; in addition, the global affiliation of the MSCVec model can also expect polysemantic word vectors to single word vectors. Compared with the traditional static word vectors, MSCVec shows excellent results in both word similarity and downstream text classification task experiments. The two sets of features are then fused and extended into new semantic features, and similarity classification experiments and stack generalization experiments are designed for comparison. In the cross-lingual sentence-level similarity detection task, SCLVec cross-lingual word vector lexical-level features outperform MSCVec multisense word vector features as the input embedding layer; deep semantic sentence-level features trained by twin recurrent neural networks outperform the semantic features of twin convolutional neural networks; extensions of traditional statistical features can effectively improve cross-lingual similarity detection performance, especially cross-lingual topic model (BL-LDA); the stack generalization integration approach maximizes the error rate of the underlying classifier and improves the detection accuracy.
