NEET Rural–Urban Ecosystems
The European Union (EU) typically supports young people aged between 15–24 years who are not in employment, education, or training (NEETs) via policies that target the following interconnected areas at the individual member state level: employment; education; social work; and youth engagement. In the context of employment, each country must develop an aligned European employment strategy coordinated with the other member states, which should contribute to the management of common policies and the involvement of local governments, trade unions, and employers’ organisations.

Municipal Waste and City Size
By 2050, the world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion, almost 90% of which will live in urban areas. With such a fast growth in population and urbanization, it is anticipated that the annual waste generation will increase by 70% in comparison with current levels, and will reach 3.40 billion tons in 2050. A key question regarding the sustainability of the planet is the effect of city size on waste production.

Morphological Transformation of Urban Open Spaces
Ongoing urbanization has led to the continuous expansion of built-up areas; as a result, open space is under great threat. Despite the wealth of studies conducted on open spaces, there is still a further need to further investigate the morphology of open space, particularly in an effort to understand the trends and drivers of open space morphological transformation that remain under-researched.

Mapping Connections between Neighborhoods and Community-Based Social Needs
Geographic proximity might not be the only factor influencing the connections between neighborhoods within the same city. Most likely, the community’s needs and behaviors play a role in facilitating or hindering any connections between these urban areas. Accordingly, relationships between communities may differ or be similar based on their respective characteristics.

Logistics Industry and New Urbanization in China
As one of the three regional development strategies of China’s 13th Five-Year Plan, the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a major construction task for China. In recent years, the level of urbanization in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has increased, and the logistics industry has also been developing rapidly. At the same time, a series of problems have been created, such as environmental damage and waste of resources. The state attaches great importance to the development of new urbanization, logistics industry, the ecological environmental protection and their mutual promotion relationship in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It has successively issued documents such as “Guidance on Promoting the Development of Yangtze River Economic Belt by Relying on the Golden Waterway”, “Outline of the Development Plan of Yangtze River Economic Belt” and “Ecological Environmental Protection Plan of Yangtze River Economic Belt”, proposing to vigorously protect the ecological environment of the Yangtze River, innovate and drive industrial transformation and upgrading and actively promote the new urbanization.

Liminality as a Theoretical Tool in Historic Cities
The methods of urban revitalisation in historic cities may include several approaches, from mere preservation to physical intervention or a combination of both.

Kitakyushu (Japan) of Industrial Heritage Tourism
Japan, Asia’s earliest industrialized country, has been transforming into a post-industrialized society. A large number of former industrial heritages in Japan have been well protected. Three industrial heritages have been listed in World Heritage by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Moreover, Japan has the largest number of centennial enterprises in the world, reaching 25,321, much more than that of North America and Europe. Compared with other industrialized countries, Japan’s industrial heritages are generally owned by long-lived enterprises, some of these spaces are still in service. Therefore, centennial enterprises often become the most direct stakeholders in the protection of industrial heritages, and play a key role in the transformation into new industrial space for cultural and touristic activities. In other words, under the influence of centennial enterprises, the development of industrial heritage tourism in Japan generally has strong path dependence.

Internet of Things in Smart Cities
The widespread diffusion of internet-based information communication technologies (ICT) has profoundly impacted city governance, thereby leading to higher energy efficiency, green production, and sustainable development. On the other hand, the spatial effect of these digital technologies has attracted extensive discussion. Digital technology has revolutionized the methods and the cost of information transmission, enabling a massive amount of information to be accessed without time and distance constraints.
