Tillfälligt slut
This issue focuses on:1) Exploring the significance of territorial spatial planning by stressing its necessity and main ideas under the contemporary background of ecological civilisation construction in China, while re-examining the role of landscape architects in this reform.2) Strengthening research on related methodologies and techniques of urban ecological planning, ecological security pattern, ecological infrastructure, and ecological restoration to improve cities liveability and resilience and rebuild harmonious human-nature relationship under a mandatory planning framework combined with resilient measures, avoiding inflexible ecological conservation practices.3) Analysing and learning from diversified efforts made by different countries and regions to promote urban development while protecting ecosystems, particularly their experience on territorial, regional, and urban planning that is significantly valuable to the Chinese counterpart, to leverage the valueof territorial natural resources.4) Exploring feasible approaches that help restore urban ecosystem structure and ecological elements, andimprove planning and design methods on specific sites, so as to enhancespatial construction and ecological quality, to eventually improve a national eco-security pattern with scientific and user-friendly planningand design.5) Encouraging applications of research frontiers in geology, macro-ecology, regional economics, public management, and sustainability science.

Village in the City investigates an equally specific and spectacular urbanisation process that many regions in China have been undergoing during the past two decades. The massive scale and the unprecedented speed of this process imply an incredible multiplicity of "villages in the city". As such there are as many counter figures as there are "regular" and "normalised" urban environments that engulf these villages. Village in the City opens a window on recent research on the dynamic transformation processes villages in China are undergoing to become (parts of) cities, and contextualises this specific contemporary Chinese phenomenon in a comparative perspective for all of Asia, i.e. including India, South East Asia, and China. And it situates this development also in the history of urbanisms of inclusion.

How forest urbanism can address the contemporary socio-ecological crisisA radical redefinition of how humanity occupies the earth — through forests, agriculture, and settlement — and rearticulates environmental stewardship by intertwining ecologies and urbanisms, this publication brings together essays by scholars in forestry, urbanism and other disciplines, designers, practitioners and policy makers. It explores the multifaceted notion of forest urbanisms, including a conceptual framing essay; contributions from the sciences such as bioscience engineering, architecture, urbanism and public policy; contemporary forest urbanism projects and explorative essays that make tangible an agenda for the 21st century. With descriptions of both built and non-built projects from around the globe, the essays show how such projects substantiate a radical shift in humankind’s occupation of the world, where ecologies and urbanisms converge and agriculture, forests, and settlements are integrated.Forest Urbanisms extends growing research on a new nature–culture relationship, the necessity for trees in cities, and a rebalancing of ecology and urbanism.Contributing authors: Chiara Cavalieri (UC Louvain), Cecil Koninendijk (Nature Based Solutions Institute), Rik De Vreese (European Forest Institute), Bart Muys (KU Leuven), Colleen Murphy-Dunning (Yale University), Bureau Bas Smets, Kongjian Yu (Turenscape), Wim Wambecq and Joris Moonen (MIDI), Embyá Paisagens & Ecossistemas, EFFEKT, TCL, aldayjover architecture and landscape, Björn Bracke (KU Leuven / Kollektif Landscape), Koenraad Danneels (KU Leuven), Marlène Boura (Biotope Environnement, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale), Swagata Das (KU Leuven), Kamni Gill (University of Manitoba), Alejandra Parra-Ortiz (University of Montreal), Gina Serrano-Aragundi (EPA Barranquilla Verde), Jörg Rekittke (University College Dublin), Takako Tajima (University of Southern California), Jamie Vanucchi (Cornell University), Maria Goula (Cornell University)Ebook available in Open Access.
