Designing Urban Spaces
for Environmental Sustainability

Our goal is to achieve sustainable urban development where the natural environment and human society coexist harmoniously.
To accomplish this, we aim to gain insights into the relationship between humans, the environment,
and nature, unravel the mechanisms of urban spaces and environments, and explore planning and design methodologies. By doing so,
we strive to foster a sustainable urban environment that supports the coexistence of nature and human society.
