Surface water recycling is essential for addressing water scarcity in arid regions like Iran. This study assesses the feasibility of enhancing surface water reuse in Tehran’s urban infrastructure by focusing on the cit...

This study explores the relationship between urban development and air pollution in Thailand by analyzing remote sensing nightlight data and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations over six years (2019-2024). Using data from...

Italian historic centres face critical challenges balancing heritage conservation with contemporary needs, particularly in regions like Calabria where smaller settlements experience depopulation, decay, and inadequate se...

The WHO estimates that by 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in urban areas—centers of opportunity but also major health risks. Urbanization contributes to the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases, lin...

Urban growth has reshaped land use patterns globally, demanding robust and scalable methodologies to monitor its long-term dynamics. This study proposes a GeoAI-based framework that integrates Random Forest (RF) classifi...

The discovery of oil in the late 1950s marked a turning point for the United Arab Emirates, as it transformed into a global metropolis, breaking regional and international records in urban development and infrastructure ...

Recently, to enhance the ability of deployed models to adapt to continually changing environments, the continual test-time adaptation (CTTA) for urban scene image (USI) segmentation has been preliminarily studied. CTTA a...

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are strategic spatial planning tools to address urban mobility needs. The European Commission encourages member states to develop SUMPs to improve quality of life through collabor...

The aim of the paper is to envision urban open spaces as a strategic system for the health of the citizens, experimenting with innovative interpretation tools and design-oriented approaches. The focus is on walking, cons...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Abstract Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are diffusing in cities worldwide, propelled by expectations for enhanced safety and sustainability. This study examines urban innovation mechanisms across 30 pilot cities in China, ana...

As cities experience the digital transformation of the information era, informed decision-making becomes a first-hand necessity. Urban Digital Twins (UDTs), as the natural evolution of the smart city, are digital replica...

The article proposes the concept of the ‘school threshold’ as an urban space for social, cultural, and educational exchange, connecting schools with their surrounding communities. It argues that these spaces can huma...

Urban areas face mounting pressure from increased space demand, degrading key environmental services. Thus, understanding Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes is vital. In order to offer a robust decision-support framework...

Abstract Urban metro rail systems are crucial lifelines that play key roles in mobility, accessibility, and economic activity, serving millions daily. However, they are vulnerable to a range of natural and human-induced ...

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This sec...

With the rapid development of urbanization, land resources are mainly converted into urban areas in most karst mountain regions of North China over the last decade, so studying available land resources would have implica...

This article explores the idea of living in outdoor environmental design. It works to highlight the necessity of creating outdoor spaces that will simultaneously create positive physical and mental health effects while o...

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) orchestration faces critical challenges in managing the Service Quality Index (SQI), Fleet Utilization Ratio (FUR), and Dynamic Pricing Index (DPI) under uncertain and time-varying urban dema...

Neighbourhood theft persists in peri-urban and urban Tanzania despite widespread community-led guarding. While commercial guard-tour systems exist, they do not fit neighbourhood committee realities of member contribution...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

Las inundaciones representan una de las amenazas climáticas más significativas a nivel global, y se espera que sus impactos se verán agravados por el cambio climático. Las áreas urbanas y periurbanas son especialmen...

Lawns and wooded areas dominate urban green spaces (UGSs) and are known to store substantial amounts of carbon in soils, yet the role of lawn trees in litter decomposition dynamics remains poorly understood. This study a...

Remote sensing enables urban planners to gain macroscopic insights into urban structures and issues. Pan-sharpening plays a key role by merging multispectral and panchromatic images, combining high spatial resolution wit...
