报告摘要：

Today, urban areas are home to more than half of the world’s population, with a projected urban population of 6.3 billion (68% total global population) in 2050. The concentration of population in urban areas has positively affected the economic growth, with generation of more inventions and business ideas. Meanwhile changes of surface landuse types, resulting from rapid global urbanization, have significant impacts on urban environmental and engineered systems, including heat island formation, modification of the hydrological cycle and degradation of water/air quality. In this talk, discussions of researches in urban sustainability will be covered under the context of future climatic challenges, especially the study of urban-land-atmospheric interactions. The general research methodology includes field measurements, numerical modeling, as well as adaptation/mitigation strategies to inform city planners and policy makers for sustainable development of cities in the future.
