Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will include articles on the impact of urban environments on healthy living. Sustainable urban development aims to improve people's quality of life while preserving the elements of the natural environment for future generations. It involves the use of modern technologies and innovative solutions in smart cities to support the process of creating smart cities. Important elements include spatial information systems and urban area management systems, as well as ensuring the availability and high quality of areas covered with vegetation and ensuring access to safe and properly developed water bodies. Additionally, methods, techniques, and tools to combat the negative health effects of urbanization are one of the goals of sustainable development. Another important element is meeting the social needs of all age groups; the anthropogenic needs of children, adolescents, adults, and seniors are different and require different solutions.
For this Special Issue, we invite articles on these topics, especially those that combine a high scientific level with a practical emphasis on providing optimal solutions in the field of sustainable spatial development.
Dr. Marek Patrycjusz Ogryzek
