Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cities are the physical manifestations of major physical and social forces. Those forces interact to change the urban environment and consequently affect the well-being of the people living in cities. In the era of rapid global warming and urbanization, various kinds of environmental problems in cities are getting more severe, engendering significant health impacts on urban dwellers. There is a need for scientific communities to determine the severity and the causes of these environmental problems in urban settings in order to solve the problems, contributing to urban sustainability in the long term. We invite researchers to contribute articles dealing with the various environmental impacts brought by climate change and urban development in cities.
This Special Issue will serve as an interdisciplinary platform for urban study. Scholars from various disciplines may use methods ranging from field research, questionnaire surveys, statistics, remote sensing, geographical information systems, computer modeling, and so on to systematically analyze the effects of climate change and urban development on the physical environments in cities.
This Special Issue will publish original research articles and review articles that help to identify possible future research directions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- How and to what extent urban environments are affected by climate change or human activities;
- The use of big and open data in investigating urban environmental problems;
- In-depth case studies illustrating the environmental problems in cities;
- Urban planning in response to environmental problems;
- Methodological advancement in tracking and tracing urban environmental problems.
