Urban expansion has significant effects on forest loss and fragmentation. Previous studies mostly focused on how the amount of developed land affected forest loss and fragmentation, but neglected the impacts of its spatial pattern. This paper examines the effects of both the amount and spatial pattern of urban expansion on forest loss and fragmentation. We conducted a comparison study in the si...

This chapter draws on three different design studios that focus the Pearl River Delta to discuss what kind of knowledge has been generated within them, and how they can be used systematically as a method address region’s complex challenges. The differ in their objectives, duration structure, but are linked by research-through-design approach. A selection some illustrative outcomes is presented ...

Located on the northern coast of South China Sea, densely populated Pearl River Delta has experienced combined effects sea-level change, monsoon-driven discharge, and especially human activity, since late Holocene. However, how these factors have regulated regional environmental sedimentary evolution remains unclear. To better understand processes, we conducted a high-resolution rock magnetic i...

The development of transportation infrastructure can ensure the strong recovery and reconstruction function a city, it is an important way to build resilient city. Studying impact level on urban resilience related future Based panel data for China’s three major agglomerations from 2008 2019, this paper uses spatial econometric model explore spillover effect resilience. results show that, due it...

Focusing on the high-quality regional economic development of 11 coastal provinces in China new era, this article constructs a multi-level evaluation system digital economy level composed 12 indicators and uses EWM analysis method to measure region. At same time, 13 are selected as endowment conditions, ANN algorithm is used study impact conditions economy. The relatively comprehensive, machine...

Giving the fact that manufacturing industry is still the engine of economic development in developing countries, China pays special attention to the development of manufacturing industry, especially the hi-tech industry. This paper takes the manufacture of medicine as an example, aiming to investigate the development status of the manufacture of medicine in Yangtze River and Pearl River Deltas,...

Abstract The low-lying Pearl River Delta in South China is subject to severe flood threats due watershed floods, sea level rise, and storm surges. It still unknown what extent how far inland surges rise impact the extreme stages. This study investigated coupling effect of discharge surge on stages by using site observations simulations generated Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis Syst...
