Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The buzzword "Sustainable development" has exerted significant impacts on urban planning, housing, land development and urban policy across the world. A common assumption made by researchers and authorities is that planning improves the sustainability of an area. Accordingly, various sustainable planning strategies have been adopted to promote high-quality urban and land development. Research in this area aims to unveil the sustainable implications of urban and land planning in a more holistic manner, thus shedding light on the dynamic relationships between different domains of planning and sustainability issues across the world.
For this Special Issue, we invite contributions that link planning strategies to sustainable urban and land development, either through empirical research or conceptual/theoretical works, examining any key processes, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable planning;
- Urban and land development;
- Smart city;
- Urban vibrancy;
- Residential satisfaction;
- Social integration;
- Urban green space;
- Land spatial pattern.
