About the Journal

Sustainable Cities and the Built Environment focus on designing, developing, and managing urban areas in ways that balance environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability. As the world’s urban population continues to grow, cities face increasing challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, pollution, and social inequality. A sustainable approach seeks to address these issues by promoting energy-efficient buildings, resilient infrastructure, renewable energy integration, sustainable transportation systems, and green spaces that enhance urban livability. It also emphasizes inclusive urban planning, community participation, and circular economy principles to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Ultimately, sustainable cities aim to create healthy, adaptive, and prosperous environments that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to thrive.
