Description: The Holistic Sustainability Evaluation Framework for Chinese Cities discusses the overlapping worldviews of the east and west to provide better understanding on how systems theory could be applied on sustainability evaluation methods, based on the indigenous philosophies of China. After collecting the qualitative data of thirteen large urban design projects in four distinct Chinese cities, this paper tries to find out how the traditional philosophy and western models were underpinning the urban practices in Chinese cities, and to further establish the sustainability evaluation model. The future work is to validate this framework by testing an external case in China.
