The authors of the article set a goal to identify most accurate and economical methods for assessing innovative potential megacity in terms used resources. For that purpose, were selected, calculations carried out two them, which suitable described detail methodological literature. results other presented public domain comparable periods time three selected regions used. study materials from Ru...

Abstract. The impact of emissions volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere on production secondary pollutants, such as ozone and aerosol (SOA), is mediated by concentration nitric oxide (NO). Polluted urban atmospheres are typically considered be “high-NO” environments, while remote regions rainforests, with minimal anthropogenic influences, “low NO”. However, our observations from c...

Abstract Flash floods are unexpected, localized flood events that occur when an exceptional amount of rain falls happens over a short period time. In South Asia, it is mostly disastrous, for example, in 2017 flash killed approximately 1200 people from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. However, also common Dhaka megacity, Bangladesh due to its geographic location, monsoon climatic condition surround...

in developing and newly industrialized countries, population growth and migration contribute immensely to the development of megacities and mega urban areas. in most cases, the rapid development ofcities has far-reaching consequences for the ecosystem in general and the hydrological cycle in particular. the developments in china within the last decades show an interesting, but complex setting. ...

Investments in the extension of health insurance coverage, the strengthening of public health services, as well as primary care and better hospitals, highlights the emerging role of healthcare as part of China's new growth regime, based on an expansion of services, and redistributive policies. Such investments, apart from their central role in terms of relief for low-income people, serve to reb...

The compact, geometrically integrated city can and should replace suburban sprawl as the dominant development pattern in the future. This approach to urban planning and design is well established among proponents of the New Urbanist and Smart Growth movements. However, the more radical scenario I propose in this paper is that the compact city should also replace the high-rise, ultra-high-densit...

• A reflectance-based water quality index is developed to map river in Dhaka megacity. River pollution and change highly conspicuous since 2010. Surface used reduce background level each rainy season until Excessive load destruction of wetlands possibly accountable for deterioration. The rivers around deteriorating very fast given extensive sources pollutants associated with rapid urbanisation ...
