Metropolitan Architecture and Sustainable Habitats in the Indo-Pacific Region to Reinforce the Megacity System Through Urban–Rural Patterns

The Indo-Pacific region needs a comprehensive view of the risks of widening existing inequalities or creating new ones due to the Green and Digital Transitions to improve the quality of life. The goal is to define Regenerative Actions to strengthen existing sustainable habitats and create/support trans-regional and national clusters. Interstitial actors must act as mediators and adapt existing knowledge to new situations. Twin Transitions require new forms of governance and compelling service access issues to identify and reinforce existing sustainable communities. Spatial analysis is needed to generate a strategic vision of territorial shrinkage for Japan. Spatial planning strategies can address population shrinkage by promoting the Desakota phenomenon and fostering the proximity of urban settlements and agriculture. The study aims to explore how Harmony can be integrated into an Operating Culture that encompasses anthropological, social, and economic aspects of cooperation with nature. Nature is critical in shaping the relationship between humans and technology, and culture is the soul that integrates technology and nature. Asian continent significance lies in its technological advancements and its potential to help China overcome its particularism and discover new ways of understanding unity. The Asian and Japanese experience has shown how the community dimension can be effective in an emergency, and how the vulnerability of a community can be transformed into a resource. Realistic contexts are necessary to achieve desired outcomes, and Asian societies must harness and transform these energies into productive innovation.
