Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To address the current complex and multi-layered spatio-environmental and socio-cultural challenges of contemporary cities and to facilitate place-making, scholars and policymakers have widely acknowledged the need to adopt a multi-dimensional— not limited to physical but also socio-cultural, politico-economic and spatio-environmental aspects—approach in land planning and design. With recent advancements, geo-planning has seen broader applicability as a tool to understand, investigate, design and model based on real-world data and a systematic analytical approach, linking multiple phenomena and layers to a location by interacting with overall contextual relationships and encouraging the application of evidence-based decision-making to the realm of planning and urban design. However, despite recent advancements, there lies a research gap in identifying new conceptual and digital models, frameworks, strategies and approaches for integrating geo-planning to facilitate multi-dimensional land planning and design aimed at facilitating place-making. For this purpose, this Special Issue invites original papers and scientific studies that may include the development of new frameworks and methodologies, analysis of the innovative approaches, conditions and challenges, as well as investigations of the role of digital technologies and tools, such as geographic information systems, remote sensing and satellite image processing, in the above context.
