The presentation introduces the concept of HEARTY city, where H indicates “Healthy”, E means “Energy-sensitive or energy-efficient”, A refers to “AI-driven”, R represents “Resilient”, T expresses “Tourist-liking”, and Y implies “Yearning”. The six elements of H-E-A-R-T-Y cities are not independent of each other. Prof. Zhang has conducted interdisciplinary research on the HEARTY city for years, mainly based on life-oriented and systematic approaches, where transport has been positioned at the core. This speech will be wrapped up by discussing how to integrate the six H-E-A-R-T-Y elements for realizing a post-pandemic transformation of urban development towards a truly hearty city.
