Special Issue, no. 11/2021
Cities, Suburbs and Peripheries in Theory and Empirical Research
Guest Editors: Artur HOŁUJ 1 1 Kraków University of Economics, Institute of Spatial Management and Urban Studies, Kraków, POLAND
Identifying and assessing the endogenous dependencies of the implemented spatial management policies require in-depth studies aimed at understanding their nature and consequences. In recent years, spatial planning has benefitted from significant focus from researchers, resulting in debates on good practices and providing suitable solutions at different issues at the local or regional scale, but also particularly in the context of poor quality practices, which usually generate spatial chaos and other negative consequences. Moreover, it is important to analyse the conditions and dependencies considering the integrated order and spatial development in the urban core area and the suburbs. If we also consider spillover effects and spatial externalities, we must deal with the intensification of problems in spatial management. The forthcoming thematic issue aims to cover various aspects of spatial development and planning, mainly in relation to the economic and social aspects of the urban, suburban and rural areas.
We invite you to submit original scientific articles on one or more issues, focusing mostly on methodological, cognitive, applicative and conceptual-theoretical issues related to:
Spatial management and planning;
Development trends in the suburban areas - the impact of peripherality on the socio-economic development of rural areas;
Demographic transformations in metropolitan areas;
Economic and non-economic externalities of spatial planning;

Sustainable design of cities and urban areas requires multidisciplinary knowledge to ensure providing the needs of the current communities without depletion of natural resources and to sustain them for future generations. In fact, there is a need for several combinations of technological infrastructures to form an array of sustainable cities. In this regard, various aspects of sustainable development should be precisely taken into consideration to design a new sustainable city or to upgrade the existing and current cities, especially in developing countries with a number of environmental, economic, and social issues.
This special issue concerns various aspects of designing sustainable cities and to transform the current cities in a way to be in compliance with sustainability goals and calls for original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews which bring novel contributions on the following topics of interest:
Sustainable cities;
Philosophy and principles;
Spatial planning of sustainable cities:tools and rules;
Novel sustainability paradigms in modern and smart cities;
Urban ecology and environmental aspects of modern and smart cities;
The economics of sustainable cities;
Traffic management and planning in sustainable cities;
Sustainable supply chain in modern and smart cities;
Sustainable cities in developing countries:challenges and opportunities;
Water management and re-use in sustainable cities;
Upgrading the current cities to sustainable cities: barriers and inspirations;
Water Supply and Wastewater Management in Modern and Smart Cities
Guest Editors: Mohammadreza KAMALI1 Guest Assistant Editor: Xi Zhang1 1 KU Leuven, Department of Chemical Engineering, Sint-Katelijne-Waver, BELGIUM
Water management in urban areas is a complex task that requires not only efficient technical infrastructures for water supply and wastewater management but also multidisciplinary coordination across many sectors and authorities. On the other hand, rapid urbanization and development of modern and smart cities have considerably increased the demand for sustainable clean water and sanitation services. The lack of efficient wastewater treatment and drainage facilities, especially in developing countries, has also led to the pollution of surface and groundwater resources, which can subsequently cause severe environmental and ecotoxicological impact. There are also industries located in urban areas that create and discharge high amounts of effluents with various degrees of pollution load based on the production technology they use and the infrastructures they are equipped with for the treatment of the generated effluents.
This special issue concerns various aspects of the water supply and wastewater management in urban areas, especially in modern cities and calls for original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews which would bring novel contributions on the following topics of interest:
Water supply in modern and smart cities: challenges, opportunities and sustainability considerations;
Stormwater management in urban areas: water use and flood management;
Spatial planning of water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructures;
State of the art drinking water and municipal wastewater treatment technologies (only review papers are accepted);
Modern tools for water and wastewater management in urban areas (geographic information system, multi-criteria decision making, scientometric studies, etc.);
Water management in urban areas and modern cities: standards and policies;
Circular economy in urban water management;
Urban water management and wastewater treatment in developing countries;
Industrial effluents in urban areas: origin and management.

Territorial belonging and territorial attractiveness are elements of strategic relevance for development at various levels. Therefore, territorial identity is relevant for building the social capital so useful during the processes of development and territorial planning. The concern about territorial identity and development is part of the same trend that occurred in the academic and political environment after the 1990s, when it became obvious that there was a strong connection between these and environmental, social and economic well-being.
This special issue will host the results of original empirical and theoretical scientific research on territorial identity and its relation to sustainable development.
We welcome contributions on the following topics of interest, but not limited to these:
Territorial identity and (un)sustainable community development (rural and urban)
Territorial identity, regional development, and regional inequalities
Territorial identity and territorial planning
Territorial identity and public policy (including gender policies)
Territorial identity and smart communities
Territorial identity and green economies
Disruptive changes, resilience, and sustainable development
Tangible and intangible elements of territorial identity for sustainable development
Urban and rural regeneration based on territorial identities
Landscape transformations and sustainability
(Re)developing place attachment and meaning
Historically informed practices for resource management
Theoretical contributions for the study of territorial identity within the theoretical discourses on sustainable development
Research methodology for the study of territorial identity
Territorial Identities and Heritage. Discourses and Practices

Territorial identity involves both the place attachment and belonging and the politics of territorial planning. Various types of identity (place, urban, regional, national, cultural, personal, community, etc.) have been proven to contribute to the identity of place, as these are viewed in relation to its historical heritage and characteristics. At the same time, local identity harbours emotional and symbolic meanings people ascribe to a sense of self and attachment to place.
This special issue starts from a relational, dynamic, and participatory notion of territorial identity. Therefore, it will host the results of original empirical and theoretical scientific research on territorial identity and its representations as constructed through discourses and practices.
We welcome contributions on the following topics of interest, but not limited to these:
Representations of territorial identity and development: discourses, images, practices
Heritage management
Perceptions of territorial identity at various levels
Constructing, preserving and promoting territorial identities
Place/regional attachment in time
(Re)defining place meaning and topophilia
Territorial identity and territorial planning
Territorial identity and public policy
Territorial identity and formal and informal education
Theoretical contributions for the study of territorial identity within the discourse of Cultural Geography
Research methodology for the study of territorial identity

Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support Systems for Sustainable Development
Publication: September, 2019
Guest Editor: Mohammadreza KAMALI1 1 Department of Environment and Planning, Center for Environmental and Marine Studies, CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, PORTUGAL
In the current era of sustainable development, land suitability analysis (LSA) has become more complex due to the use of multiple criteria considering all the technical, social, economic and environmental aspects. This may bring difficulties for decision-makers in choosing the best alternatives to ensure long-term sustainability of land use applications (LUAs). Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has been developed as a popular and flexible branch of operational research to deal with complex scenarios, including conflicting objectives and various criteria. Spatial decision problems (SDPs) can be systematically formulated in a multi-criteria spatial decision support system (MC-SDSS) to accelerate land-use planning activities, especially by using the advanced frameworks for gathering, managing and analyzing data such as geographic information system (GIS). This special issue aims to create a synthetic view on the application of MCDM techniques for sustainable territorial development, in their conventional and advanced forms, in order to provide an insight into the sustainable land-use planning (SLUP) for various applications and future prospects. Articles that reveal the application of MCDM method in case studies at different spatial scales, interdisciplinary studies and bring out solutions to overcome the existing problems are highly encouraged. This special issue accepts original research articles as well as review articles presenting a diversity of recent developments on the main topics presented below, but not limited to:
Urban and regional planning;
Urban systems, housing and urbanism;
Energy and resource planning;
Coastal and mountainous areas;
Transport systems and infrastructure;
Industrial activities;
Tourism and destination management;
Future perspectives on the application of advanced multi-criteria decision-making systems for sustainable spatial planning.
Other research results on topics that emphasize the importance of 'land' as a central theme in sustainable development practices are also welcomed.

Publication: February 2016
Guest Editors: Christian FERTNER1, Niels Boje GROTH1 1 University of Copenhagen, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Section of Landscape Architecture and Planning, Copenhagen, DENMARK
Transforming cities’ use of resources to address the threats of climate change and resource scarcity is one of the main future challenges in urban development. Striving towards energy self-sufficiency, implementing regional resource cycles, retrofitting of the built environment as well as decoupling urban development and resource use are crucial for a city’s future vulnerability and resilience against changes in general resource availability. The challenge gets further complex, as resource and energy efficiency in a city is deeply interwoven with other aspects of urban development such as social structures as well as the geographical context. As cities are the main consumer of energy and resources they are both problem and solution to tackle issues of energy efficiency and saving. Furthermore, through innovation in green technologies and the removing of bottlenecks in network infrastructure, cities can enhance their competitiveness. This special issue will present research from EU FP7 project PLEEC (‘Planning for Energy Efficient Cities’, www.pleecproject.eu), but contributions from other researchers are most welcome!
