Editorial by Daniel Halliday

“…This is in part due to the stagnation of earnings from labour, increased life expectancy and cost of aged care, and the increased cost of homeownership for young adults. These facts also remind us that while the study of inherited wealth owes much of its motivation to a concern to work out the degree to which it is compatible with justice, much can be learned from an interdisciplinary approach in which the tools of political philosophy are combined with those of the social sciences. …”

Optimization of Identification and Zoning Method for Landscape Characters of Urban Historic Districts by Hong YUN, Zixuan HU, Zehao HU

“…Based on this, this research optimizes the landscape gene theory for the buildings of urban historic districts by: 1) Strengthening the historic layering analysis of architectural gene; 2) adjusting the identification principles of architectural genes by not only adding a new principle of geographical representation, but also justifying the weight between principles; 3) implementing the binary identification of both architectural genes and recessive genes; 4) establishing a general classification system for architectural genes and recessive genes, with the new classification system involving three levels, of which the architectural genes and the recessive genes are respectively divided into six and seven subitems; 5) strengthening the correlation analysis of the binary genes. …”
