SMAD is an online platform that aims to promote sustainable lifestyles in Hong Kong and mainland China by sharing ideas and examples of sustainable daily activities, actions, and homemade goods. It was created by the School of Design at Polytechnic University of Hong Kong, along with environmental non-profits, to address issues like pollution and waste in cities by stimulating alternative approaches to consumption through design. The platform gathers and spreads cases of sustainable living to encourage social change around green lifestyles using open sharing on social media.

Urban Mobility
Early human migration in search of food established a transportation and land use model. As humans transitioned to permanent agricultural settlements and eventually cities, transportation needs increased to utilize land. However, modern personal mobility fueled by automobiles has led to increased time spent commuting in traffic, reducing quality of life and creating environmental issues due to vehicle emissions. The document discusses the relationship between transportation and land use throughout human history.

Pamphlet
The document discusses the concept of a floating city as the next frontier for urban planning. It proposes creating self-contained communities surrounded by water that include residential, industrial, and agricultural areas. The floating city aims to be a planned and sustainable development located off the coast of Sepang Gold Coast in Selangor, Malaysia. It would apply the "Blue Revolution" concept to become self-sufficient by producing its own food, water, and energy through efficient use of ocean resources.

Sapa Building System: Reference book volume 2
The document discusses 4 trends for future cities:
1. The networked city, where information sharing and connectivity will be important as more people live in dense urban areas.
2. Communal living, with a focus on shared spaces and local communities in cities.
3. Retrofitting existing buildings to be more sustainable and energy efficient, as most buildings currently standing will still be in use by 2050.
4. The "Rurban revolution" of reconnecting with local communities and self-sufficiency through approaches like urban farming.
THEUNBEATABLE
Cities are home to over half the world's population and account for most greenhouse gas emissions. As global hubs, cities should promote cultural diversity and heritage to develop economically, socially, and culturally. They must provide infrastructure and education to support creative economies in a sustainable way. The future of cities depends on serving community needs while maintaining a unique identity rooted in local heritage.
2010 Change Snapshot
Our latest report on the most pertinent changes in Asia is out! We have taken a street up approach, reporting on the significance of local market dynamics in dictating a new influence, both at home and on the world front.
Many trends reports for 2010 are filled with recessionary overtones and references to the new “thrift economy”, “frugality”, and “business unusual”. At The Change Agency, we like to look at things differently.
Here in the streets of Asia, the key operating word for 2010 is “bullishness” – Asian countries have come out of the global recession faster and stronger than anyone would have expected.
Growth in Asia is evident, but how and where, will change come from in 2010? In the report we highlight ten key changes in different Asian countries that reveal profound shifts in consumer values ranging from quality of life awareness to greater need for social collaboration and national unity.

Eco cities
The document discusses the need for eco cities due to increasing urbanization and its environmental impacts. It defines an eco city as one that is built according to principles of environmental sustainability by eliminating carbon waste, using renewable energy, and incorporating the natural environment. The concept of the eco city was developed in the 1970s by the organization Urban Ecology, founded by Richard Register in Berkeley, California, to reconstruct cities in balance with nature. The ideal eco city minimizes its environmental impact through reduced emissions, renewable resources, green transportation, high quality air/water, and protection of habitats while also supporting a strong economy.
Sustainability
Luxury brands have power over consumer behavior and aspirations, and are responsible for generating well-being across their production, use, reuse, and disposal. They publish annual reports on their social and environmental impact to meet international standards. Fashion's fast pace of multiple shows per year in different cities has a massive environmental impact due to frequent air travel. Quick trends that become obsolete contribute to a throwaway culture. Globalization encourages manufacturing in different countries for cheaper costs and expanded profits, while fast fashion companies like Zara lessen their carbon footprint by manufacturing in countries like Spain and Portugal. The internet has helped lessen environmental impact by allowing virtual experiences and transactions without physical materials.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

- 1. ‘SMAD’ Sustainable MAKE, ACT, DO Promoters: School of Design, H.K. PolyU; HKWWA, EcoHome; FoE (HK) City/ Country: Hong Kong, China Keywords: Open-sharing; Social media; Consumption; Urban Lifestyle Website: http://www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/sldi/
- 2. CONTEXT: Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and cities alike are confronting serious environmental degradation. Air contamination, water pollution and landfill saturation are commons to most of these highly populated cities. Yet, urban Chinese are becoming much resource-intensive. For instance, Hong Kong consumes double the volume of water (172 m3 per capita) than those first world cities like London and Paris; about 5000 new cars are sold in Beijing daily; and over thousand tonnes of foods from restaurants are wasted per day in Shanghai. While ‘unrestrained consumption’ (driven partly by socio-cultural preferences) are prevailing in urban China, sustainable lifestyle should be stimulated via alternative approach and medium of design.
- 3. PROJECT: ‘SMAD’ (Sustainable MAKE, ACT, DO) is an online platform (open- source portal) which aims to promote and stimulate social wide action and change towards green consumption and lifestyle via the amassment, dissemination and sharing of sustainable wits or flaws of daily ACTING, DOING and MAKING among urban dwellers in Hong Kong and mainland China.
- 4. Design Role: Design plays a key roles here to (1) Envision alternative stimulations and developmental paths for sustainable lifestyle; (2) Develop a platform for cases gathering and dissemination; (3) Explore how design ‘MAKING’ could be utilized as a strategy to drive eco-social economy; (4) Lobby potential stakeholders and social media to support & promote the platform; (5) Substantiate the platform’s impact via launching featured cases (collected regionally by field research, depth interviews and self-reporting.) and thematic social events.
