About this Research Topic
Currently, 55% of people in the world live in cities, and, according to the UN, this figure will increase to 68% in 2050. Human migration and the new economic models imposed by globalization are profoundly changing the physiognomy and configuration of our cities and territories. Accelerated urban sprawl, urban mobility pollution, gentrification, periurban anthropization, etc. are relatively recent phenomena that have been standardized in many of the main cities of the planet during the last few decades. Nevertheless, many medium-sized cities are also currently experiencing phenomena of this nature as a result of imbalances in their urban growth patterns.
This collection based on the 1st international Conference on Future Challenges in Sustainable Urban Planning & Territorial Management (https://suptm.sciforum.net/) seeks contributions involving relevant experiences and case studies on topics such as urban sprawl phenomena in big cities in developed countries, suburbanization phenomena such as slums in Asia or favelization in Latin America or consequences of rural-urban migrations in developing countries. Innovative approaches in topics related to environmental issues related to urban mobility, territorial anthropization of protected vulnerable areas, and land transformation in periurban areas under pressure are also welcome. Contributions including innovative frameworks or new analysis methodologies linked to spatial analysis and GIS tools are preferred, but other traditional scientific approaches may also be admitted
We welcome contributions on the following topics:
• Imbalances in urban growth and uncontrolled phenomena (suburbanization, favelization, etc.);
• Phenomena linked to urban mobility (walkability, SUMPs, 15-min cities, etc.);
• Land management to protect periurban landscapes;
• Environmental planning vs anthropization phenomena in vulnerable areas;
• Risk analysis and diagnosis of urban flooding phenomena derived from land-use change;
• Spatial analysis of migration phenomena (rural-urban, transnational, etc.) ;
• Gentrification and urban transformations related to new types of mass tourism (e.g. Airbnb).
