Cities’ Vocabularies and the Sustainable Development of the Silkroads
The Sustainable City
The concept of sustainability continues to be of paramount importance to our cities (United Nations, 2015; Zolli, 2012). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians persist
The Visual Integration of Tall Buildings
A skyline is the urban signature that defines the city's identity and reflects its economic and global standing. Providing visual order and harmony among tall buildings is a key factor for ensuring aesthetically pleasing skylines. Currently, a new generation of skyscrapers, constructed with innovative technologies, building materials, and computerized lighting systems is re-forming the city skyline. These tall buildings are notable for their shap…

Tall Buildings, Design, and Technology
The world population will drastically increase in the future, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Even in Europe, where some cities are experiencing a negative growth rate, on the whole the population will steadily increase. In Australia and Canada, as well, population will steadily increase, although in the United States the growth rate will be higher because of the influx of immigrants and natural growth. Thus, the threat of overpo…
Planning for the Hajj
The Hajj is an annual Muslim pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. This article describes the politics and planning involved in building a geographic information system (GIS) that can help in the planning of this massive event. Hajj involves 3 million people moving to multiple sites over a large region at different times. More than 20 agencies are involved in planning, preparing and running Hajj. Hajj is important to the Saudi government for religious, pol…

GIS in the Urban Landscape
Landscape architects have been using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) primarily for large-scale applications such as regional, environmental, ecological and natural resources planning and management. GIS applications are explored for the smaller-scale urban landscapes of communities and neighbourhoods. It is described how a community-based GIS was used in a participatory neighbourhood planning process to enhance communication between planners…
