This study investigates the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) on athlete mobility, sport event management, and regional economic development, particularly in the context of major international sporting events. The research aims to address the role of HSR in improving accessibility, reducing travel times, and supporting efficient logistics for athletes, event staff, and spectators. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, using data from Scopus, to synthesize existing research. The review process involved screening 962 documents, resulting in the analysis of 71 relevant articles. The study follows PRISMA and SPAR-4-SLR guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and transparency in selecting and analyzing studies. The study highlights both the positive contributions of HSR, including enhanced mobility and economic benefits for host cities, as well as the challenges posed by spatial imbalances in infrastructure development. While HSR facilitates improved connectivity and contributes to the economic growth of metropolitan areas, smaller cities and peripheral regions often face marginalization in terms of economic opportunities and event participation. The findings suggest that although HSR significantly enhances event logistics, there is a pressing need for more inclusive infrastructure planning to ensure equitable access to these benefits. Additionally, the study underscores the environmental sustainability of HSR systems as an alternative to more carbon-intensive transport modes. Overall, this research provides insights into how HSR can be leveraged to improve the management of international sporting events and contribute to long-term urban and regional development while also addressing the existing disparities in accessibility and economic development across regions.

The growing importance of urban spaces that facilitate socio-cultural exchange and artistic expression generates a series of current debates on inclusion within urban arts since there is not more emphasis on considering accessibility and the active participation of people and artists with disabilities as fundamental aspects. The main goal is to contribute to the comprehensive development of the theory of analytical thinking through the artistic representation of public space to validate accessibility and functional diversity, which affect inclusive design and promote active participation in urban art. The development of arguments is classified into ⅰ) the evolution of urban art and its relationship with functional diversity; ⅱ) participation of (artists and) people with disabilities in urban art; and ⅲ) urban art as an inclusive and transformative platform. This section discusses the argumentative structure in creative production that urban art is a space for social interaction and the construction of collective identity through art representation and inclusion. It is to deepen this theory of analytical thinking to contribute to the development of artworks in inclusive and accessible public spaces, depending on urban infrastructures. Urban art must have a space where all identities and collectives that are concerned about the restriction towards a more diverse and equitable urban culture for the whole society, independent of people with disabilities in public space, are recognized by the artistic work, challenging ideas about the meaning of being an artist with functional diversity.

This review provides a comprehensive analysis and develops an integrated framework for incorporating Fengshui principles into modern architectural design, focusing on their multidimensional impact on occupant well-being. In ancient China, Fengshui is a sophisticated practice integrating spatial layout and environmental optimization, drawing from natural sciences such as geography, geology, meteorology, and environmental studies. Its core objective is to harmonize the natural and built environments, creating optimal living conditions that support a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. By regulating the flow of spatial energy, Fengshui fosters livable and balanced spaces, enhancing thermal comfort, aesthetic appeal, cultural and spiritual significance, and environmental sustainability. These benefits underscore Fengshui’s contemporary relevance in modern architectural practices, showcasing its unique potential to create spaces that promote holistic well-being. This study systematically identifies four key advantages of Fengshui and explores its reintegration into modern design, emphasizing its historical wisdom in respecting and harmonizing with nature. Despite facing obstacles related to scientific validation and cultural adaptability, Fengshui is proposed as a significant theoretical framework and practical resource for architects and urban planners. It can be utilized to design environments that promote human well-being, enrich cultural significance, and support sustainability.
