Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Atmosphere is launching a Special Issue on the topic of “The Sustainable Technologies in Landscape and Urban Planning Response to Climate Change”. We are inviting researchers from all world-leading universities and research institutions to contribute their research achievements in this field as well as their new knowledge and technologies to solve the issues caused by climate change in cities. This new knowledge and technology includes emerging datasets, techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the achievement of objectives.
The prospective accepted manuscripts should demonstrate how novelty technologies could be further applied into design or planning to respond to the issues caused by climate change. The Special Issue aims to publish innovative and sustainable technologies in landscape design and urban planning to address the problems and future challenges within the scope of:
- Health impacts associated with climate-related changes;
- Urban heat island mitigation;
- Urban microclimate changes;
- Risk resilience and climate actions;
- Climate change and its impacts to air quality;
- Sustainability assessment of mitigation and adaptation solutions in the built environment;
- Human activity and climate change;
- Hydrosphere and climate change;
- Ecological restoration and microclimate mitigation.
