As the Editor-in-Chief of“Frontiers of Architecture Research,”I am glad to see several papers related to urban design published in this issue.These papers explore the urban design theory and practice from different dimensions and perspectives.Some work studied the relationship between smart cities and empathetic cities.They found that the concept of smart cities mainly focuses on technology and efficiency.However,social justice and people-oriented requires more attention.This work proposed that future cities need to follow the empathy principle of participatory governance.Another work focused on analyzing the rational layout of large-scale commercial facilities in cities through digital means.
