“…The Revitalization of the Fair Zhao Tuan's example shows that a good urban space conducive to the occurrence and development of traditional fairs is necessary. Similarly, a good fair development or renewal can greatly enhance the vitality of urban space [38,39]. This is the inherent advantage of traditional exhibition space.…”

China’s “traditional fair” culture has a long history. The “fairs” trade has existed for thousands of years, but its development characteristics and regional distribution have differed. The existing records of traditional fairs in Weifang city can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1563), giving these fairs a history of more than 450 years. However, with the development of urbanization, traditional fairs in the city center have been destroyed: one traditional fair is disappearing almost every year. Based on this research background, the study first clarifies the significance of the existence of traditional fairs in modern life. Additionally, in our analysis, traditional fair culture can be extended to an “immaterial culture”. How to develop traditional fairs in existing urban centers has become one of the objectives of urban renewal activities at this stage. This paper describes the development and changes of fairs using the methods of site observation, questionnaire survey and interview, and Google Maps image comparison. The main results are as follows: (1) Fair culture is not only a geographical space but also a cultural space that is the inheritance and development of an intangible culture. (2) Traditional fairs include economic trade and social interaction activities. It is important to protect the life of traditional fairs, which carry a rich social function. (3) The living of the traditional fair is shrinking and is struggling to develop. Based on the changes in the traditional fairs space in Weifang city center over the past eight years, this paper puts forward the possibility of the development of a fair space in the existing central city space in order to preserve the traditional way of life and carry forward the traditional regional culture of fairs in urban construction.

“…The Green View Index (GVI) is the visibility of greenery from a specific position [39] and can be calculated as shown in the equation below [40] (Equation ( 4)). We used convolution neural network to segment the image semantically and calculate the green vision rate [32,41]. In the segmented image, the plants of each landscape unit were classified as green (Figure 3).…”

The reformation and development of the education system in China have led to environmental upgrades in a great number of universities. Amid this improvement, plant landscapes hold an important role in improving the environment and highlighting the campus culture. However, due to the lack of in-depth exploration of the relationship between plant landscape characteristics and the spatiotemporal aggregation of the population in current research, the design methods of campus plant landscapes are not thoroughly studied. Therefore, the mutual improvement between landscaping and population activity has not been maximized. In this study, we collected 52 plant landscape units from Northwest A&F University as the research objects. We investigated the patterns of population aggregation on campus plant landscapes through quantitative analysis of the characteristics of plant landscapes and the temporal and spatial aggregation of people. Multiple regression analysis was used to explore the complex relationship between the characteristics of each landscape and the spatial-temporal agglomeration of people. Traditional survey questionnaires and field surveys, kernel density analysis, Python crawler technology, raincloud plots analysis, correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and other methods were used to further measure and analyze plant landscape characteristics under the influence of population density from the two levels of various characteristic elements and different landscape units, and explain the mechanism affecting population aggregation, striving to provide a theoretical basis and practical support for the sustainable development of the campus environment and landscape design methods.

“…LIU AND J.VAN AMEIJDE carbon era, the construction of low-carbon smart cities is being promoted as an effective way to improve the quality of urban spaces and implement sustainable development. An effective way to create low-carbon, sustainable and healthy cities is by making cities more walkable (Shao et al, 2021) and improving their walkability (Project Drawdown, 2020). To create walkable cities, the design of urban streets should be considered, and the needs of pedestrians and cyclists should be given priority over vehicle users (Appleyard, 1980).…”

In a post-carbon framework, data-driven methods can be used to assess the environmental quality and sustainability of urban streetscape. Streets are an important part of people's daily lives and provide places for social interaction. Therefore, in this study, the relationship between street quality and street vibrancy is measured using the new town of Ma On Shan, Hong Kong as a study area. Firstly, machine learning was used to identify the physical features of streets through geographic information collection and streetscape image acquisition. Secondly, previous measurement algorithms are combined to calculate the greenness, walkability, safety, imageability, enclosure, and complexity of streets. Thirdly, secondary calculations and visualisations were carried out on a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform to observe the current distribution of street qualities. Finally, the relationship between street quality and vibrancy was analysed using SPSS statistical analysis software. The results show that walkability has a positive effect on street vitality, whereas safety and complexity have a negative effect on street vitality. This study demonstrates how the quantitative assessment of urban street environments can be used as a reference for building a green, lowcarbon, healthy, and walkable city.
