Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of global climate change, uncertainty disturbance, aging infrastructure, and ineffective governance, cities are critical focal points for implementing strategies that promote intelligent, resilient, and inclusive growth. Innovative solutions are paramount to ensuring the future viability of both cities and residents.
We aim to explore the intersection of intelligence and resilience in urban transitions, including social, economic, and environmental dimensions, providing holistic approaches to complex urban challenges. Authors are encouraged to offer new insights into intelligent public service databases and platforms, urban infrastructure system planning, urban comprehensive energy system management, safe operation and resilience recovery of urban systems, urban public health event operations, and emergency decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for advancing research and discussion on the critical need for innovative urban transition strategies in the face of global and local challenges. We welcome the submission of papers that address critical research questions in this field, use innovative methodologies and data sources, contribute to theoretical debates, or highlight fundamental patterns that deserve more attention. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-hazard risk coupling quantification methods;
- Energy security mechanism under extreme events;
- Organizational resilience of emergency commands and dispatch systems;
- Material supply chain security and intelligent operation;
- Health and safety resilience strategies for the urban environment;
- Smart urban renewal towards achieving sustainability;
- Cross-regional action plan for emergency responses.
