Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to connect cutting-edge research in urban and regional planning to address challenges of sustainable development. Although several innovative approaches have been initiated, this Special Issue will emphasize the intersection between science and policies to address critical issues of sustainable urban and regional development strategies.
We welcome submissions from wide range of topics in urban and regional planning to provide critical guidelines for sustainable development.
Submissions of research that focuses, but is not limited to, the application of technology and empirical evidence, policy-oriented strategies, spatial sciences, innovative approaches to data analysis and techniques, and innovative tools for sustainable urban development initiatives, are especially encouraged.
Dr. Khan Rubayet Rahaman
