With the development of science and technology, environmental crises such as greenhouse effect, ozone layer destruction and acid rain have hit one after another. The destruction of ecosystem and the disorder of functional structure have also made people pay attention to sustainable development and low-carbon life.

This web-broken urbanism filters through production to support individual and economic agents into institutional forces that subvert the norms and conventions of everyday life.
