Vitamin Green provides an up-to-the-minute look at the single most important topic in contemporary design: sustainability. This new attention to the life of the things we make is changing the way design is practiced on every level and will be at the center of discussions about architecture, landscape architecture, and product design in the twenty-first century. Projects nominated by an international collection of designers, curators, critics and thinkers were selected to create the best possible sourcebook of the most exciting and original green designs at all scales, from eyeglasses to landscapes and from motorcycles to skyscrapers. The result is an inspirational survey of the enormous amount of innovative work being done in this field, as well as a directory of products, ideas and techniques for both designers and consumers. Filled with projects that are built and in production, Vitamin Green provides a lively and inspiring visual definition of the term 'sustainable design', showing people what really can be achieved today.

Hong Kongs Grenze zu Shenzhen befindet sich in Auflösung: bis 2047 wird sie verschwunden sein. Mit der Integration in das Festland wird auch die Politik des „One-Country-Two-Systems" verschwinden, und Befürchtungen hinsichtlich Gesetz, Identität, Meinungsfreiheit und Wahlrecht evozieren. Von dieser Debatte betroffen ist auch die „Frontier Closed Area", ein seit 1951 abgeriegelter und unterentwickelter Grenzstreifen mit Flüssen, Fischfarmen, Wäldern, Dörfern und Militärposten, der direkt an die 15 Millionen Metropole Shenzhen grenzt. Das Buch untersucht das einmalige Ökosystem dieses Grenzlandes und entwirft Strategien zur Umgestaltung, die innovative Entwicklungen befördern sollen. Am Beispiel Hong Kongs wird ein Diskurs über Grenzen und deren Einfluss auf zeitgenössischen Städte eröffnet. Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is dissolving. By 2047, the border will likely not exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the "One Country Two Systems" policy. The uncertainty surrounding what will happen has created anxiety relating to law, identity, freedom of speech, and voting rights. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a 1951 undeveloped buffer zone of estuaries, fish farms, forests, villages and military posts. In contrast, Shenzhen, has exploded into a metropolis of 15 million plus. The book explores this unique border ecology. Design strategies inserted within this ecology promote alternate forms of development. The example widens the discourse on borders to raise critical issues that impact the contemporary city.

"This book positions Ulaanbaatar as a unique case and one that allows us to view our urban world differently. Operating as a primordial soup of emerging conditions, Ulaanbaatar is conceived as an incubator for alternative urban concepts. The book rejects the agency of the masterplan as an effective tool in emerging urban conditions and instead positions the framework as a tool for incremental urbanism. Although specific to the Ger districts of Mongolia, the story of how people, communities, planners, and politicians are grappling with the effects of becoming urban remains one of the critical issues facing the 21st century. How this process will be materialised and organised spatially, and by whom, will have profound ramifications on the climate and the social and economic make-up of our future cities"--

While most attention is given to the booming mega-cities in China and the associated problems of over-population, the rural areas in China are being largely ignored. Yet, a sustainable development of the rural areas is precisely that, which will be decisive for China's future. Through its rapid development into an industrial country, China now needs to tackle far-reaching problems such as increasing population, growing income gap between the poor and the rich, rural exodus, decreased agricultural production, and environmental pollution. Rural Urban Framework is a work group at the University of Hong Kong that not only researches the far-reaching changes of the last thirty years in China's rural areas, but has also realized concrete projects aimed at improving supply and infrastructure on site. In this publication, the authors present for the first time the results of their research as well as their built projects in the Chinese backlands, and question whether China's only future model lies in cities. Während die Aufmerksamkeit auf den boomenden Megacities in China und der damit einhergehenden Problematik der Überbevölkerung liegt, gerät der ländliche Raum in China zunehmend in Vergessenheit. Dabei wäre gerade eine nachhaltige Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums entscheidend für die Zukunft Chinas. Durch seine rasante Entwicklung zu einem Industrieland steht China vor der Bewältigung weitreichender Probleme wie Bevölkerungszunahme, wachsende Einkommenskluft zwischen Arm und Reich, Landflucht, Rückgang der Agrarproduktion und Umweltverschmutzung.Rural Urban Framework ist eine Arbeitsgruppe an der Universität von Hong Kong, die nicht nur die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen der letzten dreißig Jahre im ländlichen Raum Chinas erforscht, sondern auch konkrete Projekte zur Verbesserung der Versorgung und der Infrastruktur vor Ort realisiert. Die Autoren präsentieren ihre Forschungen und ihre gebauten Projekte im chinesischen Hinterland hier erstmals in einem Zusammenhang und stellen so die Vorstellung in Frage, die Stadt sei das einzige Modell für Chinas Zukunft.
