This paper analyses monthly data on significant changes in mean AQI and PM10 levels from 2017 to 2023 in one of teh most populous states of India, and highlights that intensified provisions may be necessary for cities predicted to fall short of meeting program targets.
A paper highlighting innovations designed to lower the emissions of newly constructed buildings, focusing on a study of adaptive high-rise buildings which can save significant resources and reduce the emissions seen in more traditional structures. The article supports SDGs 9, 11, 12 and 13.
This perspective provides recommendations and strategies for the urban ecosystem rehabilitation of future cities, placing biodiversity and ecosystem services at the core of designing healthy and sustainable urban spaces.
This study demonstrates the large rooftop photovoltaic energy potential of China’s capital cities, showing that rooftop installations could also mitigate heat.

This article addresses SDGs 7, 12 and 13 by examining responsible energy consumption and automated systems that provide potential efficiencies through lighting optimization.
In this study, the authors map the projected changes in water availability onto the components of the food-water-energy Nexus at several spatial scales. Resilience thinking acknowledges the different spatial scales at which governance operates, resilience occurs, and Nexus systems function.
The primary outcome of our work is the strong evidence that flood hazards are related to the structural setting of the basin, which includes topography and geology, while the transition of flood hazards into disasters is mainly because of unplanned urbanization.
This study is a comprehensive assessment of the effects of climate change mitigation and pollution policies in China, providing policy recommendations.
In this current study, six metropolitan areas were selected to differentiate the built-up landscapes by utilizing the concept of local climate zones. Results revealed a 30.67% higher heat health risk in compact built-up landscapes than in the open built-up type, with urban green spaces playing an effective but differentiated role in mitigating risk.
In this study, the authors examine how background climatic condition and urban morphology can influence urban heat island effects.
