Urban environments represent complex and dynamic systems where advanced sensing and monitoring technologies are essential to quantify multidimensional urban contexts and model spatiotemporal interactions between humans and their surroundings. Recent advances in remote sensing (including satellite observations, 3D LiDAR Scanning, and Drones)and social sensing (such as IoT networks, wearable and mobile devices) have revolutionized our ability to capture urban information across spatial, temporal, spectral, and social dimensions, greatly supporting human-centric environmental design and sustainable urban development. This section explores recent advances of technologies, methodologies, and applications in urban environmental monitoring across three major areas: (1) emerging sensing technologies for comprehensive urban monitoring; (2) AI and big data approaches for multidimensional data extraction and precise analysis; and (3) advanced modeling of spatiotemporal human-environment system interactions. Relevant research studies are highly welcomed.
