Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to bring together new technologies, approaches, and even paradigms of spatial planning in the context of the early 21st century. We invite studies using new data resources, computational tools such as AI, and various social/spatial sensors to serve the needs of new and rising spatial plans. We also invite studies on more inclusive, participatory, and bottom–up spatial planning paradigms across the different contexts of the Global North and the Global South. Through the efforts of this Special Issue, we hope to highlight the ongoing upgrades and changes in methods and technologies in spatial planning, towards different directions and with different effects or outcomes, with the aim of helping our readers obtain a deeper understand of the changing trends of contemporary spatial planning.
For this Special Issue, we invite papers related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
- New data, technologies, and methods (ICTs, AI, IoT, UAV) for spatial planning;
- New trends of spatial planning across various contexts;
- Case studies of new spatial planning for various scales;
- Governance of spatial planning;
- Comparative studies of spatial planning across different countries;
- The effects of various types of urban spatial planning.
