He is among the top 25 global scholars in the urban sustainability research area. He is the editor-in-chief of the Urban Sustainability Book Series with Springer Nature. With a career spanning over two decades, he has made significant contributions to the academic and professional communities, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally conscious design. So far, Ali has published over 500 journal papers, articles, conference papers, book chapters, and reports. He also has 40 academic books, three of which have received awards at the international, national, provincial, and municipal levels. He also has received international awards and recognition for his research on urban resilience studies and sustainability research, as well as a vice-chancellor's award for his impactful contribution to higher education.

Dr. Sara Alidoust is a senior lecturer in Planning at the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning at The University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Australia. Her research centres on the intersections of urban planning and public health, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and practical application. She delivers transdisciplinary solutions to some of the most compelling challenges of our time, 'housing vulnerability' and 'the health outcomes of citymaking'. Her work stands out through the application of systems thinking to complex planning issues and she explores the connections between planning and the physical, mental, and social health of individuals and communities. Her primary focus is on developing resilient cities, capable of maintaining their liveability over time, especially amidst disruptive events and shocks.

Prof. Wendy Chen received her Ph.D. degree in Physical Geography (in the field of urban forestry) from the University of Hong Kong, 2006; M.Sc. in Natural Resource and Sustainable Development from Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, 2001; and B.Sc. in Physical Geography from Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, 1992. Her research agenda has focused on key knowledge gaps in evaluating and modelling urban green-blue spaces (GBS) that are reserved, modified, and deployed in urban/peri-urban areas. She is amongst a small group of scholars who have begun to experiment and validate the utilisation of classical non-market approaches in China's transitional context and facilitate the quantitative assessment of GBS' contribution to the quality of life. An additional strand of her research is dedicated to investigating GBS dynamics, pertaining to how and why GBS as public environmental goods are physically transformed, economically incorporated, and socially mobilized.

Prof. Richard Fuller is a leading expert in urban ecology research. He is a professor at School of the Environment at the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Australia. He works on pure and applied topics in biodiversity and conservation. Much of his work is interdisciplinary, focusing on the interactions between people and nature, how these can be enhanced, and how these relationships can be shaped to converge on coherent solutions to the biodiversity crisis. His current research topics include the ecology and conservation of migratory species, understanding what drives some people to show stronger environmental concern than others, and strategies for designing efficient conservation plans. He enjoys working closely with all his wonderful colleagues in the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science.

阿里·切什梅哈贊基教授是澳大利亞昆士蘭大學（The University of Queensland, UQ）建築、設計與規劃學院的院長及教授。他是全球城市可持續性研究領域前25名的學者之一。他是施普林格自然出版集團（Springer Nature）城市可持續性書系的主編。在超過二十年的職業生涯中，他對學術和專業社群做出了重要貢獻，專注於可持續和環保設計。迄今為止，阿里已發表超過500篇期刊論文、文章、會議論文、書籍章節和報告。他還出版了40本學術書籍，其中三本在國際、國家、省級和市級層面獲得獎項。他的城市韌性研究和可持續性研究也獲得了國際獎項和認可，並因其對高等教育的影響力貢獻而獲得副校長獎。

薩拉·阿利杜斯特博士是澳大利亞昆士蘭大學（The University of Queensland, UQ）建築、設計與規劃學院的高級講師。她的研究集中於城市規劃與公共健康的交集，強調跨學科合作和實踐應用。她為當前一些最具挑戰性的問題提供跨學科的解決方案，包括「住房脆弱性」和「城市建設的健康結果」。她的工作通過將系統思維應用於複雜的規劃問題而脫穎而出，並探索規劃與個人及社區的身體、心理和社會健康之間的聯繫。她的主要重點是發展韌性城市，能夠在時間的推移中保持其宜居性，特別是在面對破壞性事件和衝擊時。

陳文迪教授於2006年在香港大學獲得物理地理學博士學位（城市森林領域）；2001年在中山大學獲得自然資源與可持續發展碩士學位；1992年在中山大學獲得物理地理學學士學位。她的研究議程專注於評估和建模城市綠藍空間（GBS）中的關鍵知識缺口，這些空間在城市/近郊地區被保留、修改和部署。她是少數開始在中國過渡背景下實驗和驗證經典非市場方法的學者之一，並促進GBS對生活質量貢獻的定量評估。她的研究還專注於調查GBS的動態，涉及GBS作為公共環境財的物理轉變、經濟納入和社會動員的原因和方式。

理查德·富勒教授是城市生態研究的領先專家。他是澳大利亞昆士蘭大學（The University of Queensland, UQ）環境學院的教授。他從事生物多樣性和保護的純粹和應用主題研究。他的許多工作是跨學科的，專注於人與自然之間的互動，如何增強這些互動，以及如何塑造這些關係以達成對生物多樣性危機的連貫解決方案。他目前的研究主題包括遷徙物種的生態學和保護、理解為何某些人表現出比其他人更強的環境關注，以及設計有效保護計劃的策略。他喜歡與生物多樣性與保護科學中心的所有優秀同事密切合作。
