Abstract: The embracing of sustainability and liveability of an extended urban region depends on several underlying factors related
to the three pillars of sustainable development. We have identified some of these factors: the soundness of collaboration
between stake holders to create functioning institutions; effective governance to ensure feasible implementation and
monitoring of plans and policies, the consideration related to the physical environment, creation of favourable social
sphere, and balanced economic drivers such as industrial and retail diversity. In ensuring Malaysia’s rapid development,
the industrial sector was promoted, thus encouraging domestic and foreign investments and diversified industrial activities.
Industrial growth is important to boost up the economic growth. However, the growth of industrial areas in cities makes
it a very vulnerable environment for people to live in, for their pollution threats. Retailing is the main component that
contributes to the liveability of a city centre because this will encourage residents to visit the central business district.
However, for traffic congestions there is a need for regional redistribution of marketing such as regional shopping complex.
Retail planning is compulsory in order to sustain from either the arrangement or distribution of the shops. Seremban
Town Centre showed that the retail outlet has moved to sell “high end” products. Education is one of an essential tool
for achieving sustainability. An education for sustainable development is based on an integrated approach to economic,
environmental and societal development as well as encompasses a broad range of related issues. Governance in sustainable
development institutions can refer to the procedures and processes as a bridge that will link to sustainable development.
The process of effective governance in achieving sustainable development requires the proactive involvement of all parties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a priori probable future scenarios that are likely to be derived from decisions regarding governance and the modelization of the Internet Governance Forum as a complex system provides some clues about the difficulties to be overcome in order to arrive to a “multilateral, transparent and democratic” Internet governance.
Abstract: The decisions that have been and are being taken regarding what the WSIS called the ‘International management of the Internet’ constitute an interesting case to analyze the Governance phenomenon. (WSIS-05/TUNIS/DOC/6(Rev.1)-E). Our aim is to give a priori probable future scenarios that are likely to be derived from decisions regarding governance. The modelization of the Internet Governance Forum as a complex system provides some clues about the difficulties to be overcome in order to arrive to a “multilateral, transparent and democratic” Internet Governance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the following research questions: What is the current debate on constitutionalism? Why is the Chinese leadership under Xi Jinping so resistant towards constitutionalism, what are the prospects of constitutionalism in China?

Abstract: The concept of constitutionalism (xianzheng) appeared in China in the late Qing dynasty as a banner of the political reform. It was banned during the Mao era but reappeared when the reform-oriented leaders revised the constitution in 1982. Since the 1990s, it has become a key term used in the liberal discourse. This paper addresses the following research questions: What is the current debate on constitutionalism? Why is the Chinese leadership under Xi Jinping so resistant towards constitutionalism? What are the prospects of constitutionalism in China? What are the impacts of intellectual discourse on constitutionalism for China and how will it contribute to China’s political transformation in the twenty-first century?
