The vast agro-urban settlements that developed in the humid tropics of Mesoamerica and Asia contained both elite civic-ceremonial spaces sprawling metropolitan areas. Recent studies have suggested local autonomy policies facilitated development these settlements; however, been limited by a lack detail considering how, when, why factors contributed to evolution sites. In this paper, we use fine-...

The urbanisation and multifarious upsurge of infrastructures in Bhutan have caused intense alteration land cover topographies. These rapid changes undergoing are predominately snow cover, vegetation, water bodies, built-up, barren land, agricultural which commonly called use/land (LULC) change. current research attempts to analyse concerning temporal spatial frameworks features observe the natu...

The general public creates an outcry if any attempt is made to invade this green belt and that is something we want to get into planning – the creation of public interest. We want to get them to know something of our work and support us in our activities The implementation of green belts in many countries can be regarded as one of the most internationally famous attempts to control urban growth...

Future air pollution emissions in the year 2030 were estimated for the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) in central California using a combined system of land use, mobile, off-road, stationary, area, and biogenic emissions models. Four scenarios were developed that use different assumptions about the density of development and level of investment in transportation infrastructure to accommodate the expec...

The world has been urbanizing for centuries (United Nations 2001; United Nations Centre for Human Settlements [1996] 2000). While some scholars note a decline in the significance of space and distance as the result of telecommunications advancements and globalization (Cairncross 2001), other thinkers point to the continuing, if not increasing, importance of proximity and multiple benefits of ur...

Many of the major locomotor transitions during the evolution of Archosauria, the lineage including crocodiles and birds as well as extinct Dinosauria, were shifts from quadrupedalism to bipedalism (and vice versa). Those occurred within a continuum between more sprawling and erect modes of locomotion and involved drastic changes of limb anatomy and function in several lineages, including saurop...

Contemporary games are making significant strides towards offering complex, immersive experiences for players. We can now explore sprawling 3D virtual environments populated by beautifully rendered characters and objects with autonomous behavior, engage in highly visceral action-oriented experiences offering a variety of missions with multiple solutions, and interact in ever-expanding online wo...

Nature-based solutions, such as reviving blue-green infrastructure (BGI), for climate adaptation in cities have been gaining global attention. In the case of India, rapid urbanization since end twentieth century has exacerbated impact change at significant environmental, social, and economic costs. Coastal India commonly face related hazards flooding, rise sea level, urban heat islands. This ar...

Cities are the economic hubs of any country and their production efficiency increases with size density. However, rapid spread COVID-19 in almost all major cities has raised several questions on efficacy urban densification. The objective this paper is to understand dynamic interplay between crowding virus incidence. research seeks explain impact parameters (population, net gross density, stree...
