“…High dependence on public policies for planning implementation. The sustainable city concept is often criticized for being unaffordable for the majority (Hu et al, 2015). At present, China's policies on building greening are predominantly encouraging, advocating, and expressing desirability.…”

Building coverage in urban areas is gradually increasing, inducing a lack of green spaces—a common problem for sustainable urban development. Greenery on buildings has significant low-carbon effects and it becomes an innovative approach to reduce loss of urban green spaces. This paper focused on the planning methodology for urban building greening and established the content framework including the investigation and analysis, planning proposal, and management policies. In addition, the key issues that affect planning scientificity and implementation were discussed. Quantitative models on greening potential were developed, and a combined policy system comprising incentives and mandatory measures was established. Shenzhen is a typical Chinese city densely built-up with a shortage of green spaces. The city was taken as the empirical research object to analyze the current scale and compositional, and the distributional characteristics of building greening planning. Method of estimating the low-carbon effects of building greening was proposed. The results indicate that the carbon reduction effect of existing building greening was 1.96%, which reached 5.55% under the planning scenario. Finally, the paper emphasized the need for a planning methodology to realize the large-scale refurbishment of existing buildings, and discussed the issue of planning implementation being highly dependent on public policies.

“…The United State Environmental Protection Agency define GB as an ecologically accountable building that taps the earth's limited and renewable resource towards providing a habitable building [16]. Simply, GB is a building planned to reduce energy consumptions and emissions thus improving energy efficiency and conserving water through the adoption of nontoxic and durable materials in construction [17], obtained through renewable sources [18]. Hence, they are environment-friendly, resource-efficient buildings, comfortable to live in and providing good indoor and outdoor quality [19] and serving as a solution to environmental challenges including global climate change [20], [21] [22] confirm that the essence of a green project is life sustainability.…”

Generally, buildings provide society with countless benefits, however, they also have major negative impacts on the environment. Hence, Green Buildings (GB) have been proposed to solve this issue as they adopt fewer harmful materials and enable the use of local materials to adapt to climate conditions while consuming natural renewable resources with an emphasis on environmental sustainability. However, there is the dearth of researches that focus on the types of GB materials that could be adopted in the Nigerian construction industry. Hence, this research aim at finding out available materials and strategies that can be adopted towards attaining a GB status within the hot-dry areas in the north-western part of Nigeria. A total of 25 experts were drawn across three professional bodies including the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) and Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB). Using a 5 point Likert scale ranking, the study explores 33 materials cum strategies for hot-dry climatic conditions. Delphi method was adopted to find out available materials and strategies that can be adopted towards attaining a GB status within the study area. Consensus was reached at the 4th round of the survey where 19 number materials were agreed upon as easily available and suitable for the region. These include straw bales using cane straw, wheat stalks, maize husks, cottonseed husks, tamarin hull particles, adobe bricks, ash waste bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete, onion peels, groundnut shells, sunflower stalk, cork and fired clay for walling and insulation. Jalis and wind-catchers for ventilation; grass Crete and timber Crete for outdoor flooring and living roof and clay roof tiles as roofing materials. Hence, this study recommends the adoption of these materials to reduce heat-related impacts on the environment caused by buildings.

“…It should also be noted that the result of participation is strongly related to the predisposition of a community to use these ICT tools (Soligno et al., 2015). Chinese scholars (e.g., Cheng, 2013; Deng et al., 2014; Hu et al., 2015) have also suggested that collaborative planning and public participation through the Internet and social media have an increasingly vital influence on planning practice and theory in China. They showed that stakeholders can participate in planning and also connect and communicate with each other in the participation process through social networks.…”

The rapid development of information and communication technology has led to the Internet and social media becoming a vital platform for public participation in China. The present research sought to understand the complexity of participation in the network society by taking the cancellation of the number 55 bus route in Shanghai as a case study. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to analyze data from a leading social networking site in China. An analysis of participation patterns led to an understanding of the main characteristics of public participation in the network society, and a statistical analysis of the network revealed the features of elite participants in the planning adjustment. A qualitative approach was also used to explore the communication process, which was influenced by Chinese social capital— guanxi. The case study revealed an uneven pattern of public participation in the network society, and suggestions are provided to enhance fairness and effectiveness in this process.
