Sommaire:
so identifying urban and territorial challenges in our territories, such as reaching land use policies, diagnosing natural hazards, making urban mobility more sustainable, or controlling land resource consumption, is non-negotiable for our generation. Planning land uses that are compatible with the ecosystem services of the territory and managing them using public-private cooperation systems is a vast challenge for our global society. Human activities do not frequently include the maintenance of the ecosystem services of the territory among their objectives. Therefore, this field of research must help to guarantee the maintenance of natural resources, also called natural capital, which are necessary for the social and economic activities of our global society. This reprint collects some relevant case studies and approaches on future challenges in sustainable urban planning and territorial management for the next century. Its content addresses relevant experiences and works on topics such urban and land use planning, environmental management, sustainable mobility, GIS analysis, flooding assessment, landscape analysis, and regional studies using remote sensing tools, among others. Proposals including innovative frameworks or new analysis methodologies are also included in this reprint as an indicator of what are the current trends in research in this field of knowledge....
