Spatiotemporal dynamics of open space fragmentation and associated spatial vertical equity in high–density cities
Mitigating housing vacancy with urbanization in China
Measuring daytime and nighttime variations in leisure service efficiency of community green spaces for older adults
Older adults' capability to use community facilities and the associations with neighborhood satisfaction and well-being in high-density urban environments
Pursuing social cohesion in cultural tourism destinations
The social impact of cultural tourism remains controversial even though tourism development seeks a socially and economically balanced outcome. This article explores the potential of liminality as a means of explaining how cultural tourism development affects social cohesion at the neighbourhood level, particularly through open spaces. A quantitative survey of 349 respondents from two national-level tourism districts in Shanghai, Yuyuan and Xinhu…
The Spatial Effect of Accessibility to Public Service Facilities on Housing Prices
Understanding how public service accessibility is related to housing prices is crucial to housing equity, yet the heterogeneous capitalisation effect remains unknown. This study aims to investigate the spatial effect of public service accessibility on housing prices in rapidly urbanising regions. Here, we propose a novel methodological framework that integrates the hedonic price model, geographical detector model and the spatial association detec…
Capturing open space fragmentation in high–density cities
Pro profits or non-profits? A principal-agent model for analyzing public sector planning decisions and empirical results from planning applications in Hong Kong
Elderly's intention and use behavior of urban parks
Open space fragmentation in Hong Kong's built–up area
On the urban compactness to ecosystem services in a rapidly urbanising metropolitan area
Wearable Sensing and Mining of the Informativeness of Older Adults’ Physiological, Behavioral, and Cognitive Responses to Detect Demanding Environmental Conditions
Due to the decline in functional capability, older adults are more likely to encounter excessively demanding environmental conditions (that result in stress and/or mobility limitation) than the average person. Current efforts to detect such environmental conditions are inefficient and are not person-centered. This study presents a more efficient and person-centered approach that involves using wearable sensors to collect continuous bodily respons…
Older People’s Usage Pattern, Satisfaction with Community Facility and Well-Being in Urban Old Districts
Community facilities are an important element that supports older people's daily life and promotes their well-being. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive studies on the effect of planning and design of different types of community facilities on older people's usage patterns and satisfaction. This study aims to provide a framework to explore the relationship among the planning of community facilities, older people's usage and satisfaction l…
Effects of open space accessibility and quality on older adults' visit
Embedding of spatial equity in a rapidly urbanising area
Age-friendly cities and communities
The unprecedented increase in the ageing population, coupled with urbanisation, has led to a vast number of research publications on age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC). However, the existing reviews on AFCC studies are not sufficiently up-to-date for AFCC researchers. This paper presents a thorough analysis of the annual publication trend, the contributions of authors and institutions from different countries, and the trending research th…
Investigating the links between environment and older people’s place attachment in densely populated urban areas
Power relationships and coalitions in urban renewal and heritage conservation
Comparison of perceived sustainability among different neighbourhoods in transitional China
Understanding livable dense urban form for shaping the landscape of community facilities in Hong Kong using fine-scale measurements
Underlying social factors for evaluating heritage conservation in urban renewal districts
Public open spaces planning for the elderly
Social needs of the elderly and active aging in public open spaces in urban renewal
Public decision making for heritage conservation
Issues of Nimby conflict management from the perspective of stakeholders
Problem issues of public participation in built-heritage conservation
Implementation challenges to the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings
Underlying social factors for evaluating heritage conservation in urban renewal districts
Social needs of the elderly and active aging in public open spaces in urban renewal
Issues of Nimby conflict management from the perspective of stakeholders
Understanding livable dense urban form for shaping the landscape of community facilities in Hong Kong using fine-scale measurements
Is the development control legal framework conducive to a sustainable dense urban development in Hong Kong
On the urban compactness to ecosystem services in a rapidly urbanising metropolitan area
Adaptive reuse of traditional Chinese shophouses in government-led urban renewal projects in Hong Kong
Public open spaces planning for the elderly
Re-examining the Growth Machine Ideology of Cities
This article aims to examine (1) what impact growth machine ideology has on historic conservation and vice versa, (2) how heritage conservation effort’s institutional arrangements affect the composition and operation of growth coalitions, and (3) the impact of public concern on manipulating the growth machine ideology. This study looks at the conservation of two cases in Hong Kong, both of which have extremely high land value, to examine the comp…
