“…The outlines the significance of achieving sustainable development at the local level to establish sustainable communities (Simona et al, 2023;Lafferty, 2001). In order to design, plan, build, and manage a city or community more sustainably (Shearlock et al, 2000;Yang et al, 2022); to resolve conflicts between ecological, economic, and social interests (Xiao et al, 2022); and to maximize benefits for both current and future generations (PD, 2003), sustainable development at the local level is important. Local scale sustainable development, entails social fairness, economic growth, employment, wealth equality, and environmental preservation.…”

As urban populations age, creating cities that cater to the needs of elderly residents becomes increasingly vital. This paper addresses the imperative to develop urban environments supporting the well-being of the elderly against a backdrop of changing demographics. With the proportion of elderly individuals steadily rising, the demand for age-inclusive urban design is more pressing than ever. The research question driving this study is: How can sustainable retrofit strategies contribute to age-inclusive urban design, considering the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly? Begins with examining the theoretical foundations of sustainable retrofit practices, shedding light on their significance and common objectives. Shortcomings in current urban retrofit practices are scrutinized, highlighting the gaps that need addressing. Integrating research on the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly, along with their distinct needs in outdoor environments, the review contributes to a nuanced understanding of age-specific urban requirements. A bespoke sustainable urban retrofit strategy for the elderly is conceptualized, rooted in the principles of urban design. Finally, acknowledging the challenges faced in achieving age-inclusive urban spaces and provides forward-looking recommendations.

Erlangen was once a US military base in Germany, but had been transformed into a world-renowned ecological city through scientific eco-city planning and urban management. This thesis introduces the history and current situation of the city, analyses the existing problems, and compares the urban planning concepts of Germany and China. It concludes that eco-city development is an inevitable choice for urban areas. Secondly, the paper focuses on the three strategies that were implemented in Erlangen: rational land use planning, promotion of low-carbon green transport, and ecological recycling. Thirdly, it analyses the successful experience and challenges faced by Erlangen, and presents critical thinking. Finally, this paper analyses the impact of the successful experience of Erlangen on the planning and management of ecological cities in China. It covers topics such as sustainable land use patterns, the development of a sustainable economy, public transport, innovation in planning procedures, and public participation. The paper concludes by offering practical suggestions for the future construction, planning, and management of ecological cities in China.

“…Faced with limited productivity and the rapid growth of urban renewal projects, some cities in China blindly pursued design efficiency and extensively adopted the approach of massive demolition and reconstruction to update the outdated urban areas [3]. In recent years, the drawbacks of extensive renovation methods have become increasingly apparent in urban renewal, such as erasing historical memory [4], polluting the environment [5], damaging social stability [6], and wasting resources [7]. China's urban development is gradually shifting its focus from quantity to quality [8,9], which has led to an increased emphasis on urban renewal and preservation as important factors for evaluating urban quality [10].…”

As cities expand, many old towns face the threat of being renovated or demolished. In recent years, the drawbacks of extensive urban renewal have become increasingly apparent, and the focus of urban development is gradually shifting from efficiency to quality. This study aims to combine urban renewal with emerging technologies to address the dilemma between efficiency and quality in urban renewal. The study found that algorithm models based on graph theory, topology, and shortest path principles neglect the influence of internal states and visual features on pedestrian activity, resulting in lower simulation accuracy. Although incorporating internal states and visual features into the core of the algorithm further improved the simulation accuracy, the model operates in a 3D environment with lower efficiency. To address the problems of insufficient simulation accuracy and low efficiency, this study proposes a dynamic pedestrian activity model based on a multi-agent system and incorporating visual features. The model simulates pedestrian daily activity paths using pheromones and virtual sensors as the core, and it was found that using Visibility Graph Analysis could accurately divide pheromones in the environment, thus obtaining more accurate simulation results. Subsequently, based on the optimized pedestrian model’s agent activity rules and dynamic pheromone theory, a model for automatically generating road paving in urban renewal projects was developed, and the generated results were verified for their rationality through design practice. This technology can effectively promote urban renewal and the preservation of historic neighborhoods, providing technical support for achieving sustainable urban development.
