Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, our cities house more than 50% of the global population and are responsible for 70% of global energy consumption and 80% of global CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities face major challenges and various environmental, societal, and economic problems that must be addressed in order to keep pace with the increasing sustainability requirements. Remote sensing information plays a significant role in developing advanced analytics solutions for sustainable urban ecology. Since advances in remote sensing technologies, cities have generated a huge number of data that offer richer services for citizens. Currently, a myriad of remote sensing sensors are deployed in cities throughout the world, generating various types of remote sensing information, such as optical data, multispectral data, hyperspectral data, lidar data, SAR data, etc. This Special Issue aims to survey state-of-the-art methods, technologies, and systems in remote sensing information, as well as algorithms and methods for the extraction of information from data by AI, computational, and statistical approaches.

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. Sustainability 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.
