Special Issue Summary
This Special Issue focuses on a systematic and holistic investigation of urban agglomeration (UA) studies with respect to theory, method, and application. It fits well into the enduring research scopes of urbanization, landscape change, urban planning, complexity science, and the emerging scopes of urban ecology, socio-environmental impacts and management, data-intensive science, and sustainability science. The goals of this Special Issue are to:
· Develop theoretical foundations and methodological frameworks for contemporary UA studies.
· Deepen our understanding of spatial patterns and driving mechanisms of UA.
· Explore space-time complexity in UA to achieve regional sustainability.
· Investigate interactions between human activities and socio-ecological impacts associated with UA.
· Provoke implications for the sustainable planning and management of UA with respect to urbanization processes and socio-ecological impacts.
