Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the transition to a post-carbon economy and sustainable societies, countries and cities will be faced with new and un predictable challenges. This Special Issue focuses on uncovering how to improve the resilience of cities and regions in order to reduce existing and emerging conflicts over resources and their use in light of globalization aspects, environmental deterioration and climate change.
The development of strategies that simultaneously enhance the quality of life, promote economic prosperity and reduce impacts on the environment is a difficult task and requires approaches encompassing the foresight of long-term trends that influence urban development and the assessment of socio-economic consequences resulting from various prosecutable pathways.
These issues require the evaluation of aspects referring to environmental, social, and economic domains, such as improvement in energy policies, economic benefits for private users, environmental externalities, and so on. In these domains, it is of particular importance to provide the decision makers with evaluation tools capable of considering the complexity of the impacts, thus leading to the most sustainable solutions being chosen.
The SI mainly aims to collect contributions about possible evaluation methodologies regarding the above issues (but is not limited to this topic), discussing to what extent they can be useful in real-world applications. The SI also favors emerging trends and innovative research lines in the domain of energy and ecological planning and urban management. If the energy and ecological transition is a current and important trend, the evaluation of projects, plans, and policies that aim to reach post-carbon targets are equally relevant. The scale of application for potential papers mainly refers to regional or urban levels.
