Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of geo-information science and technology (i.e., complex science, geo-big data, geocomputation, deep learning, artificial intelligence, etc.) greatly facilitates the process of urban smart spatial planning and, more importantly, provides a new opportunity for the spatial planning mode shift and sustainable decision making through a better understanding of the relationship between urban configuration and human activities therein. Considering that a sustainable city is supposed to be as smart, healthy, low-carbon, cultivated, and people-oriented as possible, this Special Issue invites manuscript submissions that apply geospatial technologies to tackle these aspects.
Potential topics include but are not limited to urban structure and dynamics reflected by geospatial big data; agent-based simulation of urban mobility or urban growth; deep learning techniques on complex urban form and function; jobs–housing balance and green commuting; spatial identification or optimization of new energy industries or other green fundamental infrastructures; and the assessment of spatial equity of public resources and services (transportation, education, leisure, etc.).

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
