Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urbanization, as one of the important trends of world development, exerts severe stress and has far-reaching impacts on the eco-environment. Urbanization and eco-environment sustainability are extremely important parts of coupled human and natural systems and are one of the core contents of modern human and physical geography. There is a very complex coupling relationship between urbanization and the eco-environment. How to coordinate the relationship between them is a worldwide strategic problem. Uncovering the rules and mechanisms of global urbanization and eco-environment sustainability is of great significance to cope with eco-environmental issues and promote urbanization sustainability.
The goal of this Special Issue is to seek novel scientific papers related to urbanization and eco-environment sustainability, especially, but not limited to, original empirical studies and scholarly reviews on conceptual and methodological advances and on the interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research paradigms.
This Special Issue will welcome manuscripts that link the following themes:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) urbanization and water systems sustainability; (2) urbanization and land systems sustainability; (3) urbanization and climate change; and (4) urbanization and ecosystem sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.
