Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the sustainability development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN), SDG3 aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. Some built environments, including green spaces, support active lifestyles and contribute to promoting people’s physical and mental health. The UN highlighted parks, green spaces and waterways as solutions to the effects of unsustainable urbanization on health and well-being. Cities are recognizing that the increasing stream of data and information can support rapid advances in human health and built environments. Data-driven approaches with statistical methods, machine learning or deep learning techniques, and geospatial analytics can help gain insights into the interaction between built environments and humans.
This Special Issue will include new conceptual tools and theoretical frameworks that work toward understanding the association between human health and built environments. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Community health;
- Green and blue space and human health;
- Health inequalities;
- Urban planning for resilience and health;
- Land use/cover and human health;
- Environmental health;
- Built environments and physical activity;
- Urban environments and active travel modes;
- Sensor data and data analytics;
- Geospatial data analytics;
- Remote sensing and health.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kangjae Lee

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
