China is experiencing a fast-speed urbanization, which has brought many social and urban problems such as social exclusion, gentrification and pollution. Urban regeneration has been employed by many countries and regions to solve the problems arising during the urban regeneration, in particular the regeneration of former industrial sites. Many issues such as environmental protection, social inclusion, public participation, infrastructure construction and innovative regeneration forms all have a great impact on the sustainable regeneration of former industrial sites in China. This paper mainly summarizes the major issues of the regeneration of former industrial sites and proposes some countermeasures to the urban regeneration in China. It is expected to provide some useful suggestions to the core stakeholders of the regeneration of former industrial sites.

In the past few decades, many Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools have gained the approval of the People's Republic of China and developed rapidly. In these schools, traditional English teaching mode emphasizing the knowledge instruction can no longer meet the requirements of international education. The research-led teaching and learning model refers to the learning process that starts from a problem or phenomenon and helps students to actively explore knowledge about the problem and solve the problem through independent research or group cooperation under the teacher's guidance. Research-led teaching and learning is a teaching model that can effectively stimulate students' interests in learning, train their critical thinking and integrating knowledge, and improve their ability to learn independently and solve practical problems. Some highly specialized Chineseforeign cooperatively-run schools have higher requirements for academic English and the students' English level in listening, speaking, reading and writing. This article starts with the necessity of research-led EAP teaching mode in Chineseforeign cooperatively-run schools, summarizes the course design and practice of Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools between the University of Southampton and Dalian Polytechnic University, exemplifies some specific research-led projects to explain the EAP course design and practice in this Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools, and provide some experience for other similar education institutions.
