The leadership Perspectives — Vision for the Future
European Reflection — Five Years of Collaboration and New Horizons
Prof. Michele Bonino, Co-Chairman, for the European side, of the Scientific Committee, delivered a thoughtful address, reflecting on five years of cooperation. Recognizing the expansion of CNEUCN’s network, he underscored the deeper intellectual and practical value created through co-creation — bridging academia, industry, design, and policy.
In an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, Prof. Bonino argued, China–Europe collaboration can no longer rely solely on traditional academic exchanges. Instead, an agile, horizontal cooperation model like that of CNEUCN is essential — allowing diverse actors to come together across disciplines, geographies, and sectors to generate new knowledge and solutions. As he put it:
“If I consider the universities, sometimes we keep our view a little bit to focus in our academic activity. While reality as CNEUCN seems to be very agile in creating this horizontal cooperation of new knowledge.”
Prof. Bonino highlighted the centrality of cities in the decarbonization agenda. Urban areas, he noted, are where technology, governance, data, infrastructure, and human behaviour converge — making them the frontlines of sustainable transformation.
He pointed to the upcoming meeting of the 100 Climate Neutral Cities Forum — scheduled in Turin, May 2026 — and encouraged CNEUCN members to engage, share insights, and contribute to the shaping of urban decarbonization strategies at European scale.
His remarks reinforce a key principle: decarbonization is not purely a technical issue, but a social and governance challenge — requiring data-driven urban planning, citizen participation, cross-level governance, and integrative thinking.
领导致辞——面向未来的愿景
欧洲方面的回顾——五年合作与新的愿景展望
科学委员会欧洲主席Michele Bonino教授发表了深刻的讲话，回顾了五年来的合作历程。他指出，随着CNEUCN网络的不断扩大，通过共创所产生的知识价值与实践成果正在持续深化，实现了学界、业界、设计界与政策体系之间的跨界连接。在当前地缘政治日益复杂的背景下，Bonino教授强调，中欧合作不能再仅依赖传统的学术交流模式。相反，像CNEUCN这样灵活、横向、跨学科的合作模式至关重要，使来自不同地域、不同领域的参与者能够共同产生新知识与解决方案。正如他所说：“在大学体系中，我们的视野往往局限于自身的学术活动，而CNEUCN展现出的跨界连接能力则更加灵活，能够推动新知识的横向生成。”
Bonino教授特别强调了城市在脱碳议程中的核心地位。他指出，城市是技术、治理、数据、基础设施与人类行为交汇之处，因此成为推动可持续转型的前沿阵地。
他特别提到将于2026 年5月在都灵举行的“100 个气候中和城市论坛”，并鼓励CNEUCN成员积极参与、贡献见解，共同推动欧洲城市脱碳战略的形成。
他的观点再次强调：脱碳不是单纯的技术问题，更是社会与治理层面的挑战，需要数据驱动的城市规划、公众参与、多层级治理与综合性思维。

Feature Presentation: “Revitalizing Cities, Shaping the Future” — Beijing Oriental Senter’s Vision
A central highlight of this year’s meeting was a presentation by Oriental Senter, delivered by Ms. Chen Yingchun. Under the title “Revitalizing Cities, Shaping the Future”, the presentation laid out an inspiring and comprehensive vision for urban renewal — bridging design philosophy, structural renovation, ecological sensitivity, cultural heritage, and modern sustainability.
专题演讲：《激活城市·面向未来》— 北京东方迅腾的城市更新愿景
本年度会议的核心亮点之一，是由北京东方迅腾（BOS）陈迎春女士带来的专题演讲《激活城市·面向未来》。该分享系统呈现了东方迅腾在城市更新领域的整体愿景，以设计理念、结构改造、生态敏感性、文化传 承与现代可持续框架为核心，构建出一个多维度、具前瞻性的城市更新方法论。
Core Philosophy & Integrated Methodology
Oriental Senter emphasized a holistic approach combining building renewal, structural rehabilitation, spatial upgrading, and indoor ecological enhancement. Their work draws from three guiding principles: Timeliness, Geographical Advantage, and Human Harmony — an approach rooted in traditional Eastern wisdom but fully compatible with contemporary sustainable design needs.
• Timeliness: Projects are aligned with current urban development trends and national policy directions — ensuring relevance and long-term sustainability.
• Geographical Advantage: Each project is tailored to regional characteristics, natural context, and spatial conditions — respecting local identity while delivering high-quality design.
• Human Harmony: Emphasizing emotional value, cultural identity, social cohesion, and human-centered living environments.
Through a dual approach of artisan craftsmanship + innovative R&D, BOS is pushing boundaries in material systems, prefab construction, high-performance building envelopes, energy-efficient MEP systems, PM2.5 filtration, and digital collaborative management — all while balancing cost, time, and policy constraints.
核心理念与综合方法论
东方迅腾强调以整体性视角推进城市更新，将建筑更新、结构修复、空间提升与室内生态改善有机结合。他们的实践基于三项东方哲学与当代设计并行的核心原则：天时、地利、人和，既承袭传统智慧，又充分适配当下可持续设计的技术路径。
• 天时（Timeliness）：项目需顺应城市发展的时代趋势与国家政策方向，确保长期价值与可持续意义。
• 地利（Geographical Advantage）：每个项目都需结合区域特点、自然环境与空间条件进行定制化设计，在尊重场地精神的基础上呈现高品质成果。
• 人和（Human Harmony）：强调情感价值、文化认同、社区凝聚力与以人为本的空间体验。
在工匠精神与创新研发“双轮驱动”下，BOS正持续突破材料体系、装配式建造、高性能建筑围护结构、节能机电系统（MEP）、PM2.5 空气过滤、数字协同管理等技术边界，并在成本、周期与政策要求之间实现优雅平衡。
Showcase Projects — Demonstrating Sustainable Urban Renewal
Ms. Chen highlighted several exemplary projects that manifest BOS’s philosophy, among the others:
• Beijing Jingying International Center — an archetype of market-to-mixed-use transformation, achieving WELL Platinum and LEED Gold certifications;
• Hohhot Cader Nuohlemule Center — introducing a youth-oriented indoor oasis to reactivate a post-pandemic commercial environment;
• IBG International School — setting a new green standard for educational building retrofits;
• Tsinghua Tongzhou Dormitory — blending industrialized construction with “Beijing Memory” heritage; Hangzhou Fayan Ancient Village — demonstrating low-impact, landscape-driven revitalization.
These examples illustrate the emerging Chinese paradigm of “cultural continuity + ecological enhancement + low-carbon technology.”
示范项目 —— 可持续城市更新的实践呈现
陈迎春女士展示了多个体现东方迅腾理念的代表性项目，包括但不限于：
• 北京京印国际中心 — 市场物业向复合型空间转化的标杆项目，获得 WELL 白金认证与 LEED 金级认证；
• 呼和浩特凯德诺和木勒中心 — 通过“青年友好型室内绿洲”重启疫情后商业空间活力；

杭州法云古村 — 以低干预、景观引导方式实现乡村活化与文化延续。
这些项目共同展示了中国城市更新逐步形成的一个新范式：
“文化延续 + 生态提升 + 低碳技术”的综合更新路径。
Toward a Future Urban Renewal Model: Ecology, Heritage & Digital Governance
Ms. Chen proposed that the greatest challenge in urban renewal is balancing the constraints of legacy structures, policy regimes, cost and scheduling, with ambitions of sustainability, cultural sensitivity, and social value. To address this, BOS advocates for a forward-looking model that leverages:
• Digital Twin technology — for pre-renewal assessment, construction process management, and post-renewal operation & maintenance — enabling better control, quality assurance, and carbon-emission transparency;
• Cultural heritage preservation + community engagement — ensuring that renewal projects deliver not only technical and environmental value, but also social and cultural resilience;
• Smart materials, energy-efficient envelopes, prefab components, high-performance MEP systems, air-quality control (e.g. PM2.5), and digital collaborative management — combining comfort, sustainability, and long-term operational efficiency.
未来城市更新模式：生态·文化·数字治理的融合
陈迎春女士指出，当前城市更新最大的挑战在于如何平衡：既有建筑结构限制、政策制度框架、成本与施工周期，与可持续、文化敏感性和社会价值等更高目标之间的矛盾。为破解这一系统性难题，东方迅腾提出了一个前瞻性的未来城市更新模式，重点依托以下能力模块：
• 数字孪生技术（Digital Twin）
• 用于更新前评估、施工过程管理、更新后运营维护，实现更优的质量控制与碳排放透明度。
• 文化遗产保护 + 社区共建
• 确保更新项目不仅具备技术与环境效益，更具备文化韧性与社会价值。
• 智慧材料、节能型围护结构、装配式构件、高性能MEP系统、空气质量控制（如 PM2.5 过滤）、数字化协同管理实现舒适性、可持续性与运营效率的长期统一。
Discussion Highlights — Shared Insights & Emerging Themes
The presentation triggered a rich, multi-dimensional discussion that underlined the strategic importance of urban renewal as a central pillar of sustainable development in both China and Europe. Key points included:
• Industrial heritage & brownfield regeneration: Drawing on experiences from European post-industrial cities and transitional zones, participants — led by Prof. Bonino — argued that many obsolete industrial areas in city cores represent huge opportunities for adaptive reuse and urban regeneration. Through integrated design, policy, community engagement, and ecological renovation, these former single-use sites can be transformed into vibrant, mixed-use, multi-layered urban spaces — thus reactivating underused urban cores.
• Post-occupancy performance & carbon monitoring: Ms. Emily Luo raised an important question: does BOS track actual carbon and energy performance after project completion? BOS responded that operational-phase evaluations can be conducted through specialized consulting partners, opening the door to long-term performance monitoring, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and data-driven asset management. This underscores a growing demand for post-occupancy validation and sustainability accountability.
• Integration of drone / UAV technologies for maintenance: Mr. Stephen Zhou asked whether the proposed building-renewal innovations could integrate low-altitude drone-based façade and PV-panel cleaning technology — particularly relevant for high-rise buildings and large complexes. BOS confirmed that some urban complexes could pilot such applications, indicating a promising convergence between building-renewal expertise and emerging drone/technology partners within CNEUCN.
• Urgent need for urban regeneration: Bagnasco reiterated that many Chinese cities face over-supply of aging or underperforming building stock, creating urgency for renovation and retrofit rather than new construction. Given environmental pressures, urban growth dynamics, and changing social needs, urban renewal — not just new building — must become a strategic priority. He encouraged members to propose pilot cases where CNEUCN can deploy integrated solutions combining design, materials, MEP systems, digitalization, technology, and community engagement.
These discussions emphasized a shared recognition: urban renewal is not only an architectural or technical challenge — it is a strategic lever for sustainable urban development, cultural preservation, social well-being, and long-term resilience.讨论亮点——共识凝聚与前沿主题的深化
本次分享引发了多维度且富有深度的讨论，再次强调了城市更新在中欧可持续发展战略中的核心地位。主要观点如下：
• 工业遗产与棕地再生（Industrial Heritage & Brownfield Regeneration）: 借鉴欧洲后工业化城市与转型区域的经验，与会者（由 Bonino 教授引导）指出，许多位于城市核心区的废弃工业用地蕴藏着被低估的更新潜力。通过综合设计、政策衔接、社区参与与生态修复，这些曾经的单一功能区块完全可以转化为 多功能、复合型、活力充沛的城市空间，从而重新激活被闲置的城市核心区域。
• 后使用绩效与碳排放监测（Post-Occupancy Performance & Carbon Monitoring）: 罗岩女士提出关键问题：东方迅腾是否对项目完工后的实际碳排放与能源使用绩效进行跟踪？东方迅腾回应表示，项目在运营阶段的能效与碳排放表现可通过专业咨询机构开展评估，这将为长期绩效监测、碳核算、ESG 报告编制以及数据驱动的资产管理提供实现路径。此点也凸显出行业对于使用后阶段绩效验证以及可持续责任机制的需求正持续上升。
• 无人机（UAV）技术的维护集成（Drone Integration for Maintenance）: 周波先生关注城市更新方案能否与 低空无人机系统相结合，用于：幕墙检查与清洁、光伏板清洁、高层建筑运维自动化。东方迅腾表示部分大型城市综合体具备试点条件，并愿意探索此类协同方案。这一方向显示出：建筑更新能力 + 新兴低空技术正在 CNEUCN 体系内形成潜在的创新融合点。
• 城市更新的紧迫性（Urgent Need for Urban Regeneration）: Bagnasco指出，中国许多城市正面临老旧或功能低效建筑存量过剩的挑战，与其继续大量新建，更需要将资源投入到：既有建筑翻新、结构性改造、节能提升、数字化升级、社区场景改善。他呼吁成员单位积极提出可试点的案例，使CNEUCN能整合：设计与材料、MEP 系统、数字化技术、低碳解决方案、社区参与模式形成面向城市更新的完整综合方案。
共同的结论：城市更新是一项战略性任务，而不仅是技术工程。
所有讨论意见的汇聚指向一个高度一致的共识：
城市更新不仅是建筑或技术问题，更是推动可持续城市发展、文化传承、社会福祉与长期韧性的战略杠杆。
