He is among the top 20 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 650 journal papers, articles, conference papers, book chapters, and reports. He has published more than 58 academic books, some 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 the 2018 Vice-Chancellor's award for his impactful contribution to higher education.

Sara ALIDOUST is a Senior Lecturer in Urban Planning at The School of Architecture, Design and Planning at The University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Australia. Her research centers on the intersections of Urban Planning and Public Health, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and practical application. Sara delivers transdisciplinary solutions to some of the most compelling challenges of our time, 'housing equity' and 'healthy cities'. 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.

Wendy Y. CHEN is a professor in Department of Geography at The University of Hong Kong. She serves as the Editor-in-Chief for Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, a top international journal in the field of urban greening design and management. 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. Her research helps to integrate socioeconomic dimensions to enrich GBS scholarship, and rethink theories pertaining to GBS demand and supply in the context of extensive urbanization in developing countries and re-urbanization in developed world. She is ranked as a top 1% scholar worldwide by Clarivate Analytics.

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 of urban environments, understanding what drives some people to show stronger environmental concern than others, and strategies for designing efficient conservation plans.

Ali CHESHMEHZANGI 是澳洲昆士蘭大學 (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的前20名學者之一，也是Springer Nature的《城市可持續性書系》的主編。擁有超過二十年的職業生涯，他在學術和專業社群中做出了重要貢獻，專注於可持續和環保設計。至今，Ali已發表超過650篇期刊論文、文章、會議論文、書籍章節和報告。他出版了超過58本學術書籍，其中一些在國際、國家、省級和市級層面獲得了獎項。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重大貢獻而獲得2018年副校長獎。

Sara ALIDOUST 是澳洲昆士蘭大學 (The University of Queensland, UQ) 建築、設計與規劃學院的城市規劃高級講師。她的研究集中在城市規劃與公共健康的交集上，強調跨學科合作和實際應用。Sara 提供跨學科的解決方案，以應對當前最具挑戰性的問題，如「住房公平」和「健康城市」。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心健康之間的聯繫。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。

Wendy Y. CHEN 是香港大學地理系的教授。她擔任《城市林業與城市綠化》期刊的主編，這是城市綠化設計和管理領域的頂尖國際期刊。她的研究議程專注於評估和建模城市綠藍空間 (green-blue spaces, GBS) 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。她的研究有助於整合社會經濟維度，以豐富GBS的學術研究，並重新思考在發展中國家的廣泛城市化和發達國家的再城市化背景下，與GBS需求和供應相關的理論。根據Clarivate Analytics的評估，她被評為全球前1%的學者。

Richard FULLER 是城市生態研究的領先專家。他是澳洲昆士蘭大學 (The University of Queensland, UQ) 環境學院的教授。他的研究涵蓋生物多樣性和保護的純粹和應用主題。大部分工作是跨學科的，專注於人類與自然之間的互動，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城市環境的生態學、理解為何某些人對環境的關注程度高於其他人，以及設計有效保護計劃的策略。
