Summary: The phenomenon of urban expansion in Southeast Asia has increased since the 1960s, with private developers transforming rural areas into new cities for real estate projects, resulting in rapid urban sprawl. These new cities are well-equipped with amenities but due to heavy protection and gated environments, they have become segregated communities, creating disparities with surrounding kampongs which may lead to societal issues.

Summary: This study utilized Netherlands data to identify distinct travel attitude classes for household couples based on different modes of transportation, revealing gender differences and the impact of life events on travel behavior and attitudes. Men were more likely to favor cars and dislike public transport, while women showed a preference for cycling and were more open to using trains and buses. The findings suggest that personal and household life events can influence travel pattern transitions, and further longitudinal studies are needed to explore these dynamics.

Summary: Accurately defining the size of cities is crucial for urban studies, and China, as the country with the largest urban population, has gone through significant changes in its definition of city size. The optimization of China's city size definition includes the use of lower-level administrative units to match city entities and the use of residential population to indicate size. China's city size distribution has shifted from predominantly small and medium-sized cities to being dominated by large cities.

Summary: This paper integrates low-carbon development with economic resilience, proposing the concept of Low-carbon Economic Resilience (LER). Through an empirical analysis of inter-regional trade in Chinese cities, it is found that many cities can only achieve economic resilience or low-carbon development, while only a few cities can achieve LER. The differences in environmental-economic benefits from inter-regional trade cause trade inequality, benefiting major cities in achieving LER.

Summary: In recent years, urban wildlife presence has been increasing in cities globally, leading to increased human-animal interactions. The city of Genoa in Italy serves as a complex case study, where rural depopulation and spontaneous rewilding have caused various animal species to approach urban areas for new spaces. This study explores the residents' perceptions and understanding of urban wildlife in relation to the geography of Genoa, specifically focusing on wild boars, based on survey data. The findings indicate that certain areas of the city have higher levels of wildlife interaction, influencing the perception and tolerance towards these phenomena. Moreover, there is no clear opposition towards urban wildlife, and residents express concern for sustainable urban planning that benefits both humans and wildlife.
