The rapid growth of Asian cities and their economies is impacting the environment on a global scale. A characteristic of development in Asian cities is a mixing of urban and rural elements, so the simplistic application of refined European and North American models for spatial planning does not work. Instead of seperating these urban and rural aspects, there is a need to create and share a vision that merges these together in the form of a recycling-based society. With this in mind, this research aims to realize a harmonious blend of urban and rural elements by considering land utilization plans that include resource recyling, effective energy use, and ways of introducing these. It will create a policy vision based on real sites on the outskirts of Tianjin, China, and Bangkok, Thailand. Specifically, this will involve analysing factors such as population trends in the regions, water usage, nutrient usage cycles, and biomass demand, and establishing scenarios for effective resource and energy use that consider the spatial scale of resource cycles. It will also receive onsite support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China and Kasetsart University in Thailand.
