“…The urban transportation network, in affecting the urban land use spatial form, land use intensity, land use structure, and land price, has promoted the evolution of the urban spatial pattern [53][54][55]. Land fragmentation caused by the road traffic (traffic on the road) network has shown a significant spatial correlation with the urban land use spatial form [56]. Meanwhile, attention to the traffic network, improving location accessibility, and the evolution of the regional land use form along the route could lead to the formation of new land development intensive areas, and promote the development of the urban multi-center spatial structure [57,58].…”

The implementation of the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei coordinated development strategy has seriously increased the influence of land use and urban traffic. Thus, understanding the coordination between urban land and transportation systems is important for the efficient and sustainable development of cities, especially in this rapidly urbanizing era. Urban–industrial land and highway networks are, respectively, primary types of urban land and transportation systems, and have significant impacts on social and economic development. However, limited studies have been conducted to examine the relationships between urban–industrial land and highway networks. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the coupling coordination relationship between urban–industrial land use efficiency, and the accessibility of the highway networks of cities. Specifically, in the context of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration, the coupling coordination between urban-industrial land use efficiency and accessibility of the highway traffic network was empirically analyzed. The results show that: (i) The differences in urban-industrial land use efficiency in the BTH region are significant. Capital cities in the BTH urban agglomeration have higher economic, social, and comprehensive efficiency, while in industrial cities, the use of urban–industrial land should prioritize ecological and environmental issues. (ii) Because of its good geographical location Beijing has the best accessibility, with an accessibility index of 1.416, while Qinhuangdao had the lowest accessibility index of 0.039. (iii) In most BTH cities, the urban-industrial comprehensive land use level has fallen behind the highway network development level. The results of this study can provide references for the coordinated development of the BTH urban agglomeration.

“…Inadequate transport infrastructure provision for different modes of travel leads to increasing numbers of private vehicles, which in turn results in road congestion, accidents, economic retardation, with a corresponding deterioration in the quality of life [16]. When automobiles dominate the urban spaces and people's lives, active modes of travel, such as walking and cycling, become less attractive [34]. For instance, in Indonesia, private vehicle ownership occupies 79% of all travel modes [35].…”

Making transport systems sustainable is a topic that has attracted the attention of many researchers and urban planners. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Smart Cities Network (ASCN) was initiated to develop a sustainable transport system in the ASEAN countries. A comprehensive understanding of street networks (SNs) can contribute significantly to the achievement of this initiative. Therefore, this paper measured and compared characteristics of drivable street networks (DSNs) and walkable street networks (WSNs) of the 26 ASCN pilot cities by applying multiple network metrics. The OSMnx tool was used to download and analyse WSNs and DSNs from the OpenStreetMap. The findings present the topological and geometric characteristics of WSNs and DSNs that are diverse and characterized by different factors. The cities with orthogonal street grids, high street density, intersection density, and fewer cul-de-sacs have good accessibility to reach destinations. In contrast, some other cities have more curvilinear and circuitous SNs with many missing links to other streets, which in turn are prone to traffic disruption. The study highlights the important features of SNs that have significant implications for future designs of SNs in the ASCN whose goal is to make cities smart and liveable for ASEAN members.

“…To create a humanized and sustainable living environment, Jane Jacobs advocated the concept of human-scale, livable communities in the 1960s, and the World Commission on Environment and Development proposed the concept of sustainable development in Our Common Future in 1987. Urban planning and activities have a profound effect on the livability and sustainability of a city [7].…”

“…Naim and Rashid [9] also reflected that the ICT-based and industry-driven approaches maybe are not the only solutions for urbanization and future city designs. Based on the above insightful rethinking and reflecting, we thus realize that the common ground and means of ICT-based or industry-driven approaches often tend to directly achieve sustainability or livability through innovative technologies, mechanisms, or intelligent systems [7].…”

The concept of urban growth management first emerged in the United States in the 1950s. Its goal was to solve problems stemming from urban sprawl by applying integrated planning, management, and regulation, and to adjust to different development trends in different spaces and times. From the viewpoint of the studies on the link between sustainably built environments, urban growth management, and their interactions, this special issue includes theoretical and empirical studies on sustainable built environment planning and design, sustainable growth management strategies, and other related emerging topics, such as intelligent use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to sustainably build environments, as well as smart cities research with big data, data mining, cloud computing, and internet of things (IOT) ideas.
