Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the main current and future priorities in urban planning is adaptation to sustainable development to reduce environmental impact on health. For this adaptation, varied measures have to be taken into account. Among all the measures, the sustainability of natural resources (green infrastructure related to plants and the air quality based on aerobiology). Adequate tools to manage this sustainability are information and communication technologies (ICT) and related technologies. All productive sectors and, particularly, the urban planning sector face a productive transformation based on the use of these technologies. Specifically, the use of ICT and related technologies can be included in the global concept of nature-based solutions. This Special Issue combines these concepts and proposes these two generic topics for development: estimating the allergenicity of tree species and proposed measures to reduce it. Urban planning and sustainable use of resources in green infrastructure, as well as its social and economic dimensions, and require a multidisciplinary approach in order to examine, explore, and critically engage with issues and advances in these and related areas. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
