- Summary/Abstract:Along with the economic and social dimension, achieving ecological stability is one of the three dimensions of sustainable development. The aim of this research is to evaluate the status of research and practice in the field of green / urban green infrastructure, to find out the level of interest on this topic highlighted in recently scientific publications, what is the relation with other themes and what are these areas, and what is current state of acquired knowledge. Green infrastructure, urban green infrastructure and nature-based solutions are current topics that can be found both in European Union policies and documents and, increasingly, in international scientific publications. The number of references in publications on Google Scholar shows, on the one hand, that the maximum interest in this topic was reached in 2018-2019, and on the other hand, that there is still an increased interest in green / urban green infrastructure in connection with the following other topics: urban planning, public health, climate change adaptation, public participation, local governance, nature-based solutions, ecosystem services, metropolitan areas, social equity and environmental justice, biodiversity, GIS and remote sensing, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis of scientific articles, books and reports from the last five years shows that urban green infrastructure is a subject of a multi- and trans- disciplinary nature. As for the current state of knowledge, scientific publications agree that a hybrid green-grey infrastructure can help avoiding possible conflicts in the context of urban space. Also, more and more attention is paid to inclusive planning and governance, for a balanced distribution of urban green infrastructure. Recent research shows that nature-based solutions should be integrated into urban planning and that policies should be created to stimulate the use of green urban infrastructure models through nature-based solutions.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper offers an in-depth exploration of the captivating history and development of Landon garden, shining a light on the relentless efforts to preserve biodiversity within its boundaries. It also highlights the pivotal role that Landon Garden plays in enhancing the overall well-being of the local population. By closely examining the intricate relationship between nature and society, the paper aims to elucidate how a green space can evolve into an essential cornerstone of urban life. It serves as both a sanctuary for biodiversity and a source of tangible benefits for the surrounding community. With this perspective firmly in view, we embark on a comprehensive journey, delving into the multifaceted aspects of the history and significance of Landon garden in Biskra. It becomes evident that this green oasis not only captures the passage of time but also embodies sustainable advantages that it continuously bestows upon the local residents.

- Summary/Abstract:A series of observations and consequences debated in this article, which are based on the contemporary issue raised by the artificial intelligence, reflect the pace at which technology progresses, this being verified and confirmed by developing an experiment, within the architectural studio, which proposes to the students to merge the traditional/classical design methods with innovative, expanding ones that target and capture the creative fields in which human beings operate.The subject of limiting or completely eliminating the aggression on the natural environment is a very topical one. Abandoned quarries represent "wounds" in the natural landscape, resulting from the exploitation of the mineral resources. The studio theme for the 5th year`s short project challenges us to imagine possible solutions to heal these "wounds". It proposes imagining a scenario in order to reactivate and revitalize the quarry – whose exploitation process has ceased. In developing the concept, the theme proposes the inclusion of special structures, biomimicry in architecture, but also experimental studies carried out with A.I. tools. The method approached preserved and adapted the classic study practices within an architecture workshop and joined them by accessing new technologies as working and learning tools. The studio organized a study trip where the students had the opportunity to visit the site – the Bididia Quarry and its surroundings. Continuing with the S.W.O.T. analysis, an attempt was made to decode the context of the intervention. The study using the models supported the students in developing a complete and coherent approach in a site with dimensions that are difficult to control/imagine without a direct experience. The studio leading team also encouraged the connection to new tools: listening to A.I. classes and the use of A.I. to stimulate and complement the student's creativity, the use of drones and 3D models obtained by photogrammetry.In order to have as clear a picture as possible and an effective mentor-student dialogue on the process of integrating artificial intelligence as a working tool, the studio gave the students a chance to express themselves by answering a few questions at the end of the exercise. Solving problems and making decisions when assisted by the artificial intelligence has obvious benefits, but it can also raise certain difficulties. In this context, we consider the preparation of the students and, of course, our own - the tutors, in a realistic way for the challenges they/we will encounter. Using A.I. in the exercise of the profession will undoubtedly become a routine, perhaps even a norm. As long as these algorithms - already infiltrated in all structures and at all levels of society - are used within the limits of certain restrictions and, at the same time, the scenario of the independent initiatives is excluded, the new reality imposed by the A.I. should not be seen as a threat, but as a new frontier that is about to open to us.

- Summary/Abstract:From the emergence of the concept of sustainable development to the present day, this model of development has been a global policy with economic, social and environmental implications, of major importance for our common good. Achieving sustainable development goals requires a holistic, long-term approach. The realization of the sustainable development vision and the monitoring of progress are based on indicators of achievement that need to be linked to specific actions over a time horizon. Identifying the right indicators and interpreting them is crucial. This paper provides an overview of the challenge of measuring indicators for monitoring progress on sustainable development and is a starting point for future in-depth analysis of the indicators associated with the 17 SDGs and the criteria for their selection.

- Summary/Abstract:The notion of smart cities has emerged as an essential solution for tackling the significant challenges facing contemporary society, including rapid urbanization, climate change and globalization. Smart cities harness state-of-the-art technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance various aspects of urban life, spanning from living conditions and work environments to information accessibility, social interactions and environmental sustainability. This technological integration offers numerous benefits, accelerating infrastructure development and improving residents' quality of life. Standardization and the incorporation of international standards, such as ISO 37120, ISO 37122 and ISO 37123 play a crucial role in assessing city performance. Romania's adoption of these standards represents a significant step towards evaluating and improving its cities. However, for efficacious implementation, it is imperative to develop implementation guidelines and provide support and training to local authorities. A comprehensive list of 95 performance indicators, categorized into six domains, can provide cities with essential tools for assessing and monitoring their progress towards becoming smart cities and promoting sustainable development. Customizing these indicators to match the unique characteristics of each city and fostering close collaboration with local communities, organizations and experts are crucial aspects for shaping and overseeing strategic objectives that positively influence the quality of life and sustainable urban development. This personalized approach is vital for the successful realization of smart cities.
