Latest urban development coverage from Global Infrastructure Review.
This study adopts the UNEP-PAP/RAC framework, combined with remote sensing and GIS, to assess the risk of land degradation in the coastal region of southeastern Brazil, providing decision support for land management and sustainable development.
Unprecedented urbanization in developing countries demands data-driven infrastructure planning. Recent advances in remote sensing and machine learning offer real-time monitoring of land surface changes, enabling smarter capital allocation for transport, energy, and water networks.
Maryland passed two bills to simplify the approval process for residential development around public transit and provide financial incentives, with an expected addition of 7,000 new housing units. This article analyzes from a global infrastructure perspective how this policy can leverage private capital, enhance transportation network efficiency, and serve as an innovative solution to regional urban sprawl and housing affordability issues.
This article uses the SimCity game as a starting point to critique the excessive complexity of urban planning in the real world, exploring the contradiction between the core functions of infrastructure planning and institutional redundancy.
This article explores how to use proxy datasets to identify urban boundaries and analyzes their impact on infrastructure planning, project financing, and regional development.
The global adaptive reuse building market is expected to grow from $56.8 billion in 2025 to $129.5 billion in 2032, with Europe leading and Asia-Pacific rising. This article analyzes capital flows, project logic, and long-term trends from the perspective of infrastructure investment and sustainable urban development.
A study based on long-term thermal remote sensing data from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou shows that the demolition of informal settlements is not only a land redevelopment action, but may also produce measurable cooling effects by altering surface cover, ventilation conditions, and urban form. From the perspective of infrastructure and urban governance, this article analyzes why such renewal is shifting from a housing renovation issue to one of thermal risk management, existing land restructuring, and investment in urban resilience.
Based on a study of the population structure and migration patterns of more than 10,000 cities worldwide, this article analyzes how urban divergence changes the long-term allocation logic of transportation, energy, housing, and public infrastructure from the perspectives of infrastructure investment, urban service provision, and regional development.
