Findings indicate that corridors and pathways, second only to exhibition halls, play a crucial role in spatial mobility.

Spatial dependence decay patterns were detected using residual clustering relationships, and the LightGBM model was used to explore the relationship between vitality transfer and 50 factors in five categories: transportation, function, economy, morphology, and geography. The results show that the urban vitality distribution has a polycentric agglomeration pattern, which goes through four periods in a day. Vitality transfer is the cyclical process of transformation from one aggregated state to another. The spatial dependence was maximized at 0.75 km<sup>2</sup>. The magnitude of vitality fluctuation is strongly influenced by factors such as morphology, transportation, and function. Spatial differences in factors combine to drive vitality transfer in distribution and aggregation, with factors such as accessibility and building age diversity influencing distribution, and factors such as accessibility and POI diversity altering aggregation.

This paper first analyzes the structural design and mechanical principles based on the bridge's form, and then examines construction details to understand material selection, reconstruct fabrication methods, and explore craftsmanship thinking. The findings reveal that in the structural design, iron chains, strut frames, and three-sided arches each take on distinct load-bearing roles in a cantilever bridge, enabling it to achieve a large span. By coordinating structural components, this bridge type does not require scaffolding during construction, instead relying on the components themselves for mutual support throughout the building process. In terms of construction details, skillful arrangement of elements like wooden pegs enhances convenience and precision during construction, while ensuring overall integrity and stability.
