The future of urban green space might be written in code, according to research in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems. The age-old image of the landscape architect, sketchbook in hand, guided by intuition and a feel for the land, is being dug over by digital disruption. The work suggests that for city and town planners facing increasingly dense populations and the problems that climate change brings, the art of urban garden design needs reseeding with modern tools to fertilise new ideas.
Urban green spaces are now recognised as increasingly important for the recreation, enjoyment, and wellbeing of city dwellers, Moreover, such as spaces and in particular the protective effects of trees during scorching summers and the atmospheric cleansing they bring are no longer an aesthetic luxury but an essential part of the modern cityscape. The concrete jungle needs to go green, and an algorithmic augmentation of human intuition can help balance the competing pressures in landscaping our urban spaces.
The researchers talk of “landscape optimization” wherein a green space or garden is not simply a canvas on which to paint trees, lawns and shrubberies, but a complex data problem that can be more effectively solved algorithmically without compromising art nor beauty. The team merging aesthetics and ecology reframe the problem into a “rationality index” which considers the terrain profile, soil health, and the local climate to provide the computer with a unified metric it can interpret and from which it can provide novel design solutions using various algorithms based on natural systems such as honeybee behaviour and ant colonies.
In preliminary tests, the team found that their hybrid algorithmic approach worked better than conventional methods used to calculate land-use efficiency. They emphasise that by treating landscape design as an optimizable process, city planners can produce evidence-based layouts that are reproducible, resilient, and reliable. While the immediate focus is on gardens, the implications for wider urban planning are significant. As public authorities face mounting pressure to meet sustainability targets, the “intuition” of the past may soon give way to the “optimization” of the future.

In terms of sustainability and competitiveness, modern agriculture depends on information across the whole of food-production. Research in the International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology has looked at how data, innovation, and collaboration shape farm performance in the facing of growing climate change issues and under diverse market pressures. The work suggests that without knowledge frameworks, policies and technologies designed to improve resilience are likely to underperform.
The researchers show that information quality is a decisive factor linking farm-level decisions to wider economic and environmental outcomes. Data on production volumes, input costs, as well as resource use can be combined with national statistics and market intelligence to help farmers and policymakers to respond to price signals, supply chain disruption, and climate stress. Unfortunately, many farms still operate without formal accounting systems or even consistent record-keeping, which means their decision-making is not clear. Moreover, a lack of detailed economic awareness might be limiting the capacity of many farms to adapt production in response to changing conditions.
The detrimental effects of this information gap are worsened by social and organisational factors within the sector. Farmers’ associations, cooperatives, and informal networks can play a role in knowledge exchange, but many farmers do not make full use of such networks, with differences in uptake being linked to farm size, education level, and age. The team adds that the retention of younger people in rural areas emerges is a major concern, as demographic decline threatens the sector’s capacity to absorb new skills and sustain innovation over time.
The bottom line is that digitalisation, used systematically, rather than casually, might offer a structural shift in how agriculture is managed that could help overcome some of these problems. Digital systems can reduce wasted resources and wasted effort. With improved resource efficiency and decision-making supported by data in a sector where timing is often critical, farming practices might be improved. Ultimately, there is a need to embed this digitalisation within farming networks supported by leadership, coherent policy and trained personnel.

Universities are increasingly involved in regional economic growth, a finding that extends their impact way beyond teaching and research. This is the conclusion from a systematic review of research spanning the decade 2015 to 2025. The research, published in the World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development, highlights the ways higher education institutions can help in the emergence and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
They do so, the research suggests, through a broad range of knowledge-exchange mechanisms, ranging from consultancy and collaborative research to licensing, patenting, and participation in open innovation networks. These activities, the review explains, do more than transfer technology, they stimulate the creation of spinoffs, impact-driven ventures, and knowledge-based entrepreneurship.
The study looked at how research shows that universities and other higher education institutions are managing their priorities in parallel with industry requirements and cultivating extensive networks. In so doing, those HEIs are boosting the ability of local firms and organisations to recognise, assimilate, and apply external knowledge. This then translates into practical research and applications.
The research cites the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Industrial Liaison Program and Germany’s Fraunhofer Society as examples of how sustained, trust-based partnerships between universities and industry can work to yield high-technology spinoffs, co-developed commercial products, and organisational learning for participating firms.
The work also points out how government can foster innovation and collaboration between industry and academia. The review highlights how knowledge exchange is a non-linear process, in which the more formal mechanisms such as patents and licensing work with informal channels such as consultancy and professional development. Together they reinforce the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
There are implications for university administrators, policymakers, and company executives alike. There is potential for strategically designed collaborations between academia and industry. If these can then muster adequate resources, then innovation cycles can be shortened, regional economic performance improved, and entrepreneurship will benefit overall.
