Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, the large-scale migration of human beings to cities has brought severe challenges to urban planning and design. Environmental degradation, traffic congestion, a job–housing imbalance, and other urban problems have plagued human life and sustainable urban development. Additionally, the complexity and uncertainty of human mobilities are subtly reshaping the spatial patterns of cities. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for global researchers to disseminate recent insights and technological developments in the areas of urban planning, urban sustainability, and human mobility.
Within this context, we would like to invite you to submit original research and review articles to disseminate and share new findings in urban planning, infrastructure management, and urban computing.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Human mobility;
- Urban management;
- Development and planning problems;
- Routing behavior;
- Neighborhood conservation and urban design;
- Sustainable cities;
- Physical planning and urban design;
- Land use and transportation;
- Emergency response and hazards;
- Geocomputation;
- Spatial statistical analysis;
- Complex systems and artificial intelligence;
- Space–time simulation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Applied Sciences 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.
