Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Healthy city construction is a global action strategy that is being advocated for in the face of the challenges to human health brought on by urbanization. The building environment and city planning is vital for human health, and long-term exposure to environmental factors such as indoor and outdoor air pollution, meteorological factors, traffic noise, night-light pollution, greenness, non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases has caused increasing concern. Big data and new technologies being applied to this field would make the research more applicable and would help contribute to healthy city construction, which would have significant effects on public health. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the potential areas of interests.
