“…Of the greenery studies, 12 considered the relationship with physical health impacts only, mainly in the area of respiratory and cardiovascular disease or general health impacts (Browning & Lee 2017;Twohig-Bennett & Jones 2018;Parker & de Baro 2019;Rugel & Brauer 2020); and 15 studies also reported on mental health outcomes. Several reviews focused on the health of particular population groups including older adults and mortality (Rugel & Brauer 2020;Yuan et al 2020;Rojas-Rueda et al 2019); children and asthma (Hartley et al 2020 children and adults with disabilities (Saitta et al 2019), and older adults (Chastin et al 2015). Five studies assessed various mental health outcomes, including stress and anxiety more generally (Calogiuri & Chroni 2014;Felappi et al 2020;Gascon et al 2017;Kondo et al 2018a;Chastin et al 2015), and in children and adolescents (Vanaken & Danckaerts 2018).…”

“…A total of 32 systematic reviews (25.8%) reported on urban system determinants of health categorised as spatial planning (17 studies); housing system (11 studies): and ecosystems (four studies) (Table 3; and see Table S3 in the supplemental data online). Physical activity (Nordbø et al 2018;McCrorie et al 2014;Durand et al 2011;Rocha et al 2019), mental health (Gong et al 2016, including the health of children and the elderly (Sánchez-González et al 2020;Kabisch et al 2017), and morbidity and mortality (Salgado et al 2020) Air pollution, noise, UHI, green and blue space (Salgado et al 2020;Kabisch et al 2017;Rocha et al 2019) Housing system Vulnerability (e.g. housing status, insecurity and instability; social housing) Physical health, mental health and health-related behaviours (Vásquez-Vera et al 2017;Downing 2016;Tsai 2015;Singh et al 2019;Davey et al 2020;Aidala et al 2016), as well as healthrelated social outcomes (Aubry et al 2020;Tanner et al 2013) Energy access and fuel poverty (Tanner et al 2013) Policy (e.g.…”

More specifically, these studies focused on nature-based approaches (Kabisch et al 2017), age-friendly infrastructure for the elderly or children (Sánchez-González et al 2020;Nordbø et al 2018), and smart city technologies (Rocha et al 2019). Strategic planning and smart growth approaches were also included (McCrorie et al 2014;Durand et al 2011;Gong et al 2016;Salgado et al 2020).…”

With more than half the world's population living in cities, understanding how the built environment impacts human health at different urban scales is crucial. To be able to shape cities for health, an understanding is needed of planetary health impacts, which encompass the human health impacts of human-caused disruptions on the Earth's natural ecosystems. This umbrella review maps health evidence across the spatial scales of the built environment (building; neighbourhood; and wider system, including city, regional and planetary levels), with a specific focus on urban housing. Systematic reviews published in English between January 2011 and December 2020 were searched across 20 databases, with 1176 articles identified and 124 articles screened for inclusion. Findings suggests that most evidence reports on health determinants at the neighbourhood level, such as greenspace, physical and socio-economic conditions, transport infrastructure and access to local services. Physical health outcomes are also primarily reported, with an emerging interest in mental health outcomes. There is little evidence on planetary health outcomes and significant gaps in the research literature are identified. Based on these findings, three potential directions are identified for future research.

Parking allocation has become a major problem in modern cities for which numerous smart parking systems (SPS) have been developed. This paper aims to provide comprehensive study, comparison and extensive analysis of SPSs in terms of technological approach, sensors utilized, networking technologies, user interface, computational approaches, and service provided. Moreover, the paper fills up the research gap by providing a clear insight into the suitability of SPSs in various environmental conditions and highlights their advantages/disadvantages. The extensive comparison among multiple aspects of SPSs would enable researchers, designers, and policymakers to identify the best suited SPS and understand the current trends in this sector.

“…Smart city policy has a positive impact that cannot be ignored in urban innovation as measured by the number of patents from four alternative technology classes, namely total patent applications, high technology patent applications, ICT patent applications, and smart city patent applications [1]. Regarding the application for example in the form of timely reports of information to the police, hospitals and emergency services, implementation of protective measures to ensure the safety of older adults and school children, and the design of policies to ensure more road safety [2]. Such applications are certainly very useful for the public.…”

One of the implementations of the smart city concept is by making use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based applications in providing public services. The Regency of Blora is one of the Indonesian regencies belonging to the 100-Smart-City. The aims of the research are identifying the applications contained in the programs in the smart city master plan on each dimension, identifying the applications most used to support smart city implementation, analyzing The Use of Aplication, and recommending applications required for implementing smart city. This research uses a qualitative approach. This research includes an application-based Blora Smart City development program implemented in six smart city dimensions. Applications that have been used properly are selected through focus group discussions (FGD). Application provider informants were selected purposively, while for application users five informants were selected. Data processing was carried out using in-depth interview transcripts. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive qualitative. The research result show that various applications have been used to support the realization of the Regency of Blora as a smart city. Some of the society members have been making use of the applications to deserve public services. However, to support the uses of ICTbased applications in an optimum level, it is necessary to make it easy to access internet, to socialize the existence of applications, and to obtain aspiration from local people for the policy of applying the applications. Evaluation of application utilization is recommended as a follow-up research through structured interview surveys of application users with a larger number of respondents.
