A Multi-Agent Platform to Explore Strategies for Age-Friendly Community Projects in Urban China.

Background And Objectives: Although numerous efforts have been made to promote age-friendly communities (AFCs) in urban China, challenges such as the engagement and management of stakeholders, budget constraints, and policy issues remain. This article describes the work of designing a multi-agent platform (MAP) for the briefing stage of AFC projects.

Research Design And Methods: The process to design the MAP is first described, and the components and variables are identified.

Promoting Construction Industrialisation with Policy Interventions: A Holistic Review of Published Policy Literature.

By adopting the concept of 'factory assembly followed by onsite installation,' construction industrialisation (CI) plays an increasingly important role in sustainable urban development. CI can enhance construction quality and efficiency while reducing environmental impacts. To promote the CI, several policy interventions have been developed and implemented in different countries and regions.

Improving Construction Industrialization Practices from a Socio-Technical System Perspective: A Hong Kong Case.

Construction Industrialization (CI) tends to improve industrial performance and contributes substantially towards global sustainability. Considering these merits, many countries and regions, including Hong Kong, have released policies to promote CI uptake. However, those policy interventions ignore the dynamic influence of stakeholders and technologies, which significantly influence the efficient management of CI.
