The Scale of Urbanism
While scale is an essential factor in discussions about sustainable cities, there is no common understanding of what scale is or how it should be measured. Understanding scale and how it changes may shed light on answering a number of questions, such as how scale impacts livability, pedestrian quality, access, affordability, or crime. In order to delve into these and other scale-related topics, urbanists need an approach to scale measurement and analysis.

Biophilia Upscaling
In response to socio-ecological challenges, cities around the world are implementing greenification and urban forestry. While these strategies contribute to reducing the ecological footprint, they often overlook various social implications. This explains the increasing global attention to Biophilia, which emphasizes human–nature interaction to enhance the quality of urban life. Despite its historical roots spanning centuries, Biophilia is still considered an emerging research field, as shown by debate on evidence-based research and measurement of its multidimensional impacts. Although the beneficial effects of Biophilic Design (BD) are well documented thanks to the small-scale and immediate outcomes, the long-term potential of Biophilic Urbanism (BU) offers less evidence, limiting its utilization and investment.

Patent of Connected Vehicle Technology Trends
Governments and manufacturers anticipate that connected vehicle deployments will reduce accidents, optimize traffic flow, and enhance the driving experience. Although extensive studies focus on the technical aspects of connected vehicles, a gap exists in systematically analyzing the invention trends shaping the field. Insights into these trends is a strategic imperative for policymakers, researchers, and investors alike.

Short-Term Rental and Its Classification
The rise of short-term rental (STR) platforms such as Airbnb in the past decade has brought about significant changes in the tourism industry. To be specific, these platforms have transformed the way people travel by directly connecting hosts and guests, providing individuals and property owners with the opportunity to offer their homes or spare rooms for short-term stays. This shift has offered a wide range of lodging options to travelers in terms of price and location, allowing travelers to choose accommodations that suit their preferences and budgets. This variety has resulted in increased tourism demand and has contributed to the local economy, particularly in rural areas that heavily rely on tourism as a vital source of income and employment. The accessibility and affordability of STRs have attracted tourists who seek unique experiences and a more intimate connection with the local culture and community.
