Against the backdrop of new urbanization and urban-rural integration, research on rural resident mobility patterns in megacity fringe areas provides insights into addressing challenges in urban-rural spatial governance. Using mobile phone signaling data and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model, this paper examines the spatiotemporal characteristics of rural resident mobility across multiple scales and the underlying mechanisms in Tongzhou District, Beijing. The results show that: u2460 Village-to-village mobility sustains the basic rural resident mobility network, while village-to-district central area flows significantly exceed village-to-town/township central area flows. On weekends, rural-to-urban mobility intensifies and extends to the central city and surrounding suburban districts, generating new urban-rural interaction patterns. u2461 In the inner suburbs, mobility intensity follows a dual-coreu2013periphery gradient pattern centered on the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center and Yizhuang New Town, whereas the outer suburbs exhibit a dispersed cluster pattern centered on key villages and town/township central areas, challenging the assumption of spatial homogeneity inherent in coreu2013periphery theory. u2462 The effects of the influencing factors demonstrate spatial heterogeneity. High-level mobility in the inner suburbs is governed by urban-rural location and transportation infrastructure, whereas localized mobility in the outer suburbs is primarily shaped by public service facilities and socio-economic conditions. Accordingly, the paper proposes differentiated planning strategies: strengthening rapid transit networks in the inner suburbs and fostering specialized industries in the outer suburbs. These strategies provide a scientific basis for promoting the flow of urban-rural production factors and enhancing spatial governance in megacity fringe areas.
From Oct. 17 to 19, 2025, the 2025 Annual Conference of the Housing and Community Planning Committee of the Urban Planning Society of China (UPSC) was successfully held at Shenzhen University. Organized by the Housing and Community Planning Committee of the UPSC, the conference was jointly hosted by the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Shenzhen University and the LAY-OUT Planning Consultants Co., Ltd., in collaboration with the Community Development Committee of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Peopleu2019s Republic of China and the Editorial Department of World Architecture Review at Shenzhen University. Centered on the theme u201CCommunity Regeneration and Design for Future Human Settlements,u201D the conference brought together experts and scholars, government officials, industry representatives, and practitioners working in the fields of urban regeneration, community planning, community governance, operations and maintenance, and residential community research. Participants exchanged views and explored emerging research and practical approaches through academic forums, roundtable discussions, and on-site surveys. More than 40 invited speakers delivered keynote speeches and engaged in discussions addressing the conference theme as well as four sub-themes: planning for age-friendly, healthy, and resilient communities; housing design and policy research for the future; sustainable regeneration and governance of old residential communities; and smart community and application of emerging technologies. The conference was attended by more than 100 participants on site and attracted over 10,000 online attendees. In this column, the principal insights shared in the keynote speeches and forum discussions at the conference were summarized, for the purpose of providing useful reference for advancing both theoretical inquiry and practical application in the field of housing and community planning.
The Hong Kongu2013Zhuhaiu2013Macao Bridge (HZMB) is a critical transport corridor built under the policy of u201COne Country, Two Systems.u201D It serves as a cross-border infrastructure facilitating the spatial restructuring and reterritorialization of the Guangdongu2013Hong Kongu2013Macao Greater Bay Area. This paper unravels the intergovernmental competition and coordination in the making of the HZMB through the lens of a game-theoretical approach. The findings reveal that actoru2019s dominance, route design, and benefit distribution are the focus of cross-border intergovernmental bargaining. Vertically, the intervention of Chinau2019s central government effectively reduced the uncertainties and risks. Horizontally, local governments strategically utilized tactics including upscaling and scale jumping to win over the central governmentu2019s support in favor of local interests. The paper argues that institution-building, particularly horizontal networking, and partnership-building should be reinforced to facilitate the cross-border spatial governance of the Greater Bay Area.
1背景与意义 规划是促进经济增长与城市增长的重要工具,传统规划理论将增长作为规划目标,但这一导向存在局限性[1].尤其是在增长不确定时代,规划需根据不同的增长背景改变其运作模式,例如传统的增长导向的规划在市场需求不足的情况下往往难以实施或无法完成既定目标;另外,这种增长导向下的规划范式还忽视了地球自然资源有限的基本事实,造成经济增长与环境可持续发展严重脱钩.
As climate change intensifies extreme weather and climate events, enhancing urban climate resilience has become a global priority. Social media plays an increasingly important role in disaster response, yet limited research has used large-scale data to reveal differentiated response patterns among multiple actors or the mechanisms of resilience capital generation. This study develops a three-dimensional actoru2013stageu2013response analytical framework grounded in disaster risk management, social cognition, and social resilience theories. Using the July 31, 2023 Beijing Rainstorm as a case study, we collected 280,052 Weibo records and applied topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and text classification to examine responses by official media, online opinion leaders, and individual users across pre-disaster, during-disaster, and post-disaster stages, focusing on information dissemination, emotional expression, and response behaviors. Results show that multiple actors formed a collaborative information network in which official media provided authoritative guidance, individual users generated the bulk of content, and rapid rumor refutation was achievedu2014though vulnerable groups were inadequately reached. Positive emotions dominated throughout, with temporary negative spikes during the disaster that subsided following official reassurance and expert-led science communication. Self-help and mutual aid were the most prevalent behaviors; official media focused on resource coordination, while online opinion leaders and individual users contributed more to emotional support and social mobilization, yet information gaps delayed responses among vulnerable groups. These findings reveal that social media facilitates the generation of crisis-responsive social capital through coordinated multi-actor participation across information, emotional, and behavioral dimensions, thereby contributing to disaster resilience. The study proposes a four-dimensional frameworku2014knowledge translation, emotional coordination, capacity building, and intelligent decision-makingu2014to guide multi-actor collaboration in climate-resilient city development.
