Introduction: CAE Member WU Zhiqiang believes that urban planning is particularly important for China. The history of urban development has repeatedly proved that the city as a human body needs to be organically combined with nature. Urban planning is not only to complete the artificial construction, but also to intervene in the ecological nature. Natural conditions are the first factor in urban planning, so it is necessary to integrate the artificial system and the natural ecosystem.

Introduction: The family of carbon nanostructures includes a great number of forms with different properties derived from their reduced dimensionality. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene show special electronic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties that allow their potential application in new materials and devices. The real possibilities of pristine CNTs and graphene depend on their synthetic origin, which can be roughly classified into methods starting from graphite and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. Applications of CNTs and graphene encompass electronics, energy devices, multifunctional composites, catalysis and sensors. Their reduced size and weight suggest potential uses in portable, wearable and mobile equipment with a high added value.
