We also discuss a Conceptual List of Indicators on Earth Observation, A Framework of Adaptive Risk Governance and Identifying the Risk Areas and Urban Growth by ArcGIS-Tools for urban planning. Then we present a Sustainability Education Framework: Challenges, Concepts and Strategies--The Contribution from Urban Planning Perspectives and the Power of Urban Planning on Environmental Sustainability in Finland. An Evaluation Study of Urban Development Strategy Based on of Extreme Climate Conditions is also discussed.After that we described Assessment of Sustainability of Urban Water Supply and Demand Management Options: A Comprehensive Approach and Evaluating the Interests of Different Stakeholders in Beijing Wastewater Reuse Systems for Sustainable Urban Water Management. Governance Regime Factors Conducive to Innovation Uptake in Urban Water Management: Experiences from Europe and Water Sensitive Urban Design: An Investigation of Current Systems, Implementation Drivers, Community Perceptions and Potential to Supplement Urban Water Services are presented in this book. We also described Review of Improving the Impact of Plant Science on Urban Planning and Design and Urban Green Infrastructure Impacts on Climate Regulation Services in Sydney, Australia. Ecology in Urban Planning: Mitigating the Environmental Damage of Municipal Solid Waste and Integrating Urban Heat Assessment in Urban Plans are also presented.We also try to describe Urban Planning for a Renewable Energy Future: Methodological Challenges and Opportunities from a Design Perspective and Simulating the Impact of Economic and Environmental Strategies on Future Urban Growth Scenarios in Ningbo, China. .
