Advances of Healthy Environment Design in Urban Development—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a follow-up of the first Special Issue, entitled “Advances of Healthy Environment Design in Urban Development” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/special_issues/517PHPFOLF), published in Buildings.

The built environment is closely related to human health. Currently, people requirements for high-quality urban environments and architectural spaces are increasing . The relationship between the built environment and human health has become urgently necessary to elucidate.

In existing research, numerous achievements have been made regarding the impact of environmental pollution and physical quality on health physiological indicators. The impact of the environment on users' living habits and behavioral patterns also clearly determines people's physical and mental health.

This Special Issue focuses on the concept of all-health, focusing on new theories, new technologies, new methods and innovative applications of various built environment and health indicator measurements and analyses, and focusing on the comprehensive promotion of the built environment in user health issues. Topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Healthy buildings;
• Healthy community;
• Healing space;
• Urban active space;
• Healthy environments for particular populations (e.g., the elderly, children, and people with social anxiety);
• Health-promoting behavior.
