Special Issue Information
In the post-panemic era, human society faces more uncertainties in economic development. In highly populated urban areas especially, people's production and lifestyle have undergone tremendous changes, and the social differentiation of different classes of people has become more complex. In this context, sustainable development issues face more challenges, such as the construction of environment-friendly cities, the sustainability of urban spatial planning, the construction of livable communities, the construction of urban resilience, the upgrading of industrial structures, the protection of traditional culture and the sustainable development of cities. At the same time, new data and technologies also bring new opportunities for urban sustainable development, such as big data analysis, urban computing, etc., which can provide new perspectives on the evaluation of sustainability. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the research on sustainable urban development in this new era, and hopes to jointly promote the further improvement of related research in terms of urban sustainable development theories, methods and applications.
