Development should aim to emphasize and maximize the value of this context and to make possible contributions to address weaknesses. The aim of this research is to investigate the extent to which the role of added development can be maximized in heritage contexts for sustainability. The study hypothesis is discussing the possibility of enhancing the sustainability of historic contexts through an integral infill landscape project based on the potentials of these projects. A questionnaire was conducted with architects and planners to determine the expected role of this type of development and how much contribution it should role. Case studies were selected to assess the extent to which the infill development in heritage domains could achieve sustainability. An analytical comparative study was done based on qualitative methods by studying the case studies of infill landscape projects that were added and positively affected the historic context. The research then proceeds with a set of conclusions and recommendations that can be applied when adding development in historic contexts.

Studies predict that these cities are threatened with drowning by 2070-2050. Intervention policies for the conservation of coastal cities are among the most important concerns for Europe and North Africa. The concept of Resilient cities is one of the recent ways to deal with natural disasters and climate change that could threaten cities in the future. The northern coastal cities are of great importance in Egyptian urbanization, Where the second capital of Egypt (Alexandria). Northern cities have about 12% of Egypt's population. These cities represent economic and social power as well as historical and humanitarian value. Despite these risks, there has been a trend towards urban expansion in the northern coastal region since the end of the last century. This paper aims at studying the impacts of climate change on Egyptian northern coastal zones and exploring the urban resilience to the effects of climate change. In this regard, the current paper discusses the concept of resilience and describes the city resilience framework. Then the research focuses on coastal cities and surveys coastal vulnerabilities to the risks of climate change. The paper addresses climate change resilience strategies by exploring various techniques applied in three international case studies. Then it surveys Egypt's coastal zones vulnerabilities to the impacts of climate change and Egyptian adaptation and mitigation attempts to climate change risks. Finally, the paper addresses challenges and opportunities of the resilience of Egyptian northern coastal zones to the impacts of climate change and suggests some recommendations.

This study raises the status of historic gardens in Egypt and what they suffer from distortion and neglect. Most of architectural elements and plants of these parks are in dire situation and suffer from encroachments. Consistently of this decline, the city will lose large parts of green spaces of historical value within the urban fabric, especially with the absence of application of systems to save and protect these parks, whether domestic or international legislation or lack of availability of funding sources to support the work of the protection and restoration of these parks. The research focuses on Japanese park as one of the historic Egyptian parks. It highlights the most important vocabulary, cultural and natural elements. The research aims to reach to some plans to preserve the existing historic gardens in Egypt and re-activate their role.

Although sustainability seems to be a new concept in today's architecture, in reality, it is not. This is because, much of sustainable architectural design principles depend on references to vernacular architecture, and there are many examples found in different parts of the world to which architects can refer. When the world seeks for more sustainable buildings, it is acceptable to revisit the past in order to understand sustainable features of vernacular architecture. It is clear that vernacular architecture has a knowledge that matters to be studied and classified from a sustainability point of view. This work aims to demonstrate that vernacular architecture can contribute to improving sustainability in construction. In this sense, the paper evaluates specific vernacular housing in Eastern Black Sea Region in Turkey and their response to nature and ecology. In order to explain this response, field work was carried out and the vernacular architectural accumulation of the region was examined on site. The features of the examples have been identified and debated in today's sustainable architectural concept. This work holistically evaluates this architectural manifestation, in the light of current knowledge, in order to find scientific justification for its knowledge to verify and promote its application in the future.

Cities use this development approach to create public spaces, upgrade slow systems, increase green areas, and re-attract inhabitants and tourists to the waterfront. Such integrated landscape practices have improved the local environment efficiently, provided residents with recreational opportunities, alternative commuting routes, and raised the urban economic and social development. The Nile is the cradle of Egyptian civilization and the main source of water. It has a significant ecological, economic, cultural and touristic value. Cairo is a promising city when it comes to the regeneration of the Nile riverfront, where potentials are unlimited. Cairo Nile riverfront areas suffer from several problems such as water pollution, unplanned development, shortage of public green spaces and lack of visual and physical accessibility. So, there is a need for comprehensive planning and strategy to improv...

In view of the importance of China in the world regarding the size of its economy, its contribution to world growth, and its increasing influence, this study makes timely and important contributions to policy makers and investors around the world. This study also tries to answer some questions: • Is the impact of the pandemic more serious in the country where the pandemic originates? • Will China become the world's medical factory after pandemic? • Will the pandemic put the Chinese economy in a critical situation?

There is now a fine line between working and learning as the two have started to merge. The digital transformation of learning has augmented organizations' ability to evolve by providing just-in-time training solutions. Learning is becoming more measurable, developable, and goal-oriented. Simultaneously, changes to work paradigms are making it (i.e. work) more virtual, spontaneous and hyper-connected. Decisions on when, how and where individuals learn can no longer be constrained to a specific time or place. Thus, the need to embrace digitization of learning has become a critical success factor for corporations.
