Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urbanization and climate change are two of the most pressing challenges of the modern age, and are intrinsically linked. The rapid growth of urban areas worldwide has led to increased energy consumption, industrialization, and transportation, all of which contribute to rising urban air pollution levels and greenhouse gas emissions. To address these interconnected issues, this Special Issue, "Urban Air Pollution Control and Low-Carbon Development," aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers to explore innovative solutions, share insights, and drive sustainable change.
This Special Issue is centered on the dual objectives of urban air pollution control and low-carbon development. We invite authors to contribute work that explores the intersection of these two fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Assessing the impact of urbanization on air quality and climate change.
- Innovative strategies for urban air pollution monitoring, modeling, and management.
- Low-carbon technologies and practices for sustainable urban development.
- Policy interventions and governance approaches to promoting cleaner urban environments.
- Global case studies, best practices, and success stories.
We welcome research articles, reviews, case studies, and policy analyses that provide valuable insights into the complex relationships between urbanization, air quality, and low-carbon development. This Special Issue will encompass multidisciplinary research from fields such as environmental science, urban planning, engineering, and public health. By drawing on this diverse knowledge base, we aim to offer a holistic perspective on the challenges and opportunities inherent to creating cleaner, more sustainable urban spaces.
