HABITAT INTERNATIONAL

生境国际致力于研究城市和农村人类住区的规划、设计、生产和管理。它的主要焦点是发展中国家最广泛意义上的城市化。然而，发展中世界和发达世界城镇之间的相互关系和联系日益明显，迫切需要解决由此产生的问题。世界的经济、社会、技术和政治制度相互交织，一个区域的变化几乎总是影响到其他区域。生境国际欢迎关于城市问题的研究报告，例如政策和执行、规划、建筑和土地、财政和管理、城市设计、自然环境和城市地区之间的相互作用、城市服务的提供和其他有关问题。将审议关于显然具有广泛影响和基于发展中国家或发达国家经验的相互关系的主题的论文。特别欢迎在发展范围内就这些问题提出意见。世界各地均发表了高质量的论文、简短的通讯、对已发表论文的评论，以及有关会议的报告，因为大家都认识到，这类城市问题随处可见。希望国际人居组织能为解决这些问题做出贡献。

Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions. Habitat International welcomes reports of research on urban issues such as policy and implementation, the links between planning, building and land, finance and management, urban design, the interaction between the natural environment and urban areas the provision of urban services and other related problems. Papers on topics which clearly have broad implications and interrelationships based on the experiences of the developing or developed world will be considered. Submissions exploring these issues within the development context are particularly welcomed. Quality papers, short communications, comments on published papers and reports on relevant conferences from all parts of the world are presented as it is recognised that such urban problems arise everywhere. Hopefully, Habitat International will contribute to their solution.
