Abstract: The design and study of parking meter with the use of "cradle to cradle" (C2C) design method have an important impact on the sustainable development of cities. Based on the discussions on designing methods and principles of C2C, this paper has analyzed sustainable designing strategies, methods and procedures of parking meters by combining with designing cases of it. Finally, a summary and a prospect on the C2C design and study of parking meters has been conducted in the end of this paper.

Abstract: The sustainability of manufacturing processes lies in industrial planning and productive activity. Industrial plants are characterized by the management of resource (inputs and outputs), processing and conversion processes, which usually are organized in a linear system. Good planning will optimize the manufacturing and promoting the quality of the industrial system. Cradle to Cradle is a new paradigm for engineering and sustainable manufacturing that integrates projects (industrial parks, manufacturing plants, systems and products) in a framework consistent with the environment, adapted to the society and technology and economically viable. To carry it out, we implement this paradigm in the MGE2 (Genomic Model of Eco-innovation and Eco-design), as a methodology for designing and developing products and manufacturing systems with an approach from the cradle to cradle.
