Abstract Green spaces are recognised as an important contributor in enhancing the quality of urban life. Many cities now working on preserving and increasing their green a part sustainable development plans. Unfortunately, Cairo currently being marginalised city has been losing significant quantities its already limited favour other developmental projects. This article analyses distribution existing using official numerical data. The results show recent changes that happened between years...

Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary collaboration (TDC) continue to address complex societal problems such as sustainable development, global environmental change, public health challenges. Nature-based design (NBD) methods including biomimicry, biomorphism, biophilia, bio-utilization zoomorphism are essential for the of built environment (SBE). Currently, there is no framework (TCF) support NBD SBE. The first step fill this gap through systematically exploring...

This paper reports on social innovation systems for building resilient communities within different and political contexts across four continents. It considers how in the built environment occurs over phases of network, framework architecture explores linkages with study sustainability resilience. tracks emergence response to social, economic environmental challenges through nine case studies, using ethnography probe barriers enablers innovation. Findings reveal role that politics...

Complex societal problems cannot be resolved without transdisciplinary research (TDR). Currently, there is no focused communication platform or commonly shared framework for conducting TDR. The current study a continuation of the exploration collaborations in multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and TDR to identify ideas that could contribute developing testing general systematic literature review this discovered three main themes (TDR initiation, management, knowledge exchange). These...

Considering a range of possible natural and anthropogenic hazards socio-economic disruptions, the article hypothesis is that planning their prevention mitigation requires transdisciplinary collaboration science, governance organisations, affected population, civil society. The literature review enabled identifying types causes disruption threats, scale, approaches recommendations for in research, knowledge sharing governance. Qualitative analysis given above studies confirms validity...

Industrial heritage is relevant to social, cultural, scientific, technological, and architectural aspects, revealing the lifestyles of people, recording technological advances, perpetuating cultures. However, with renewal cities, a large amount industrial has been abandoned. To avoid waste resources, reasonable accurate value evaluation it prerequisite for its protection reuse. Therefore, based on perspective evaluation, this paper presents qualitative quantitative research through...

Social innovation—while not a new practice in itself—has re-emerged since the global financial crisis 2008 as an approach to solving our collective intractable challenges. Despite its renewed popularity, there is no common definition for phenomenon, least context of application when planning built environment or civic infrastructures. This paper seeks position social innovation means holistic collaboration between disciplines develop sustainable ecologies and systems that provide resilient...

Public green spaces are becoming crucial components of any sustainable community because their multiple ecological, economic and sociocultural benefits. More efforts being directed towards creating livelier spaces. Unfortunately, there is less adequate attention to long-term upkeep. Both research practice focus more on design aspects public parks than management. Realising the importance management, this addressing recognised gap by providing a comprehensive study management process. It...

Purpose This research aims at examining public parks as a complex, interrelated system in which park’s natural and its man-made can work together within an ecocentric approach. It will create framework that support the design management of parks. Design/methodology/approach The article first introduces previous justifies need for new then uses conceptual analysis to examine concepts construct through theoretical research. Finally, park is constructed by synthesising components showing...

Among the seven national institutions of former socialist Yugoslav period that appear to have been assigned category ‘contested’ and ‘unwanted’ heritage, History Museum Bosnia Herzegovina stands out. Originally built as a Revolution, it bears legacy specific identity cultural narrative developed in period, which has projected architecture displaying hallmarks early Modernism.
