Dear Colleagues,
With the development of urbanization, humans are increasingly facing problems concerning resources, population, the economy, and the ecological environment due to the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) era. The urgent development of resilient and sustainable infrastructures, buildings, and cities is of paramount importance.
This Special Issue, entitled "Promoting Green, Sustainable, and Resilient Urban Construction", aims to publish the latest research outcomes that promote urban construction towards heightened sustainability and resilience. We cordially invite scholars from around the world to contribute innovative theoretical, methodological, and empirical research papers that may encompass a diverse array of topics including, though not limited to, urban regeneration, green cities, smart cities, urban infrastructure, and city resilience. Papers on new theoretical and technological advancements, together with practical approaches, are invited to achieve the objectives of sustainable cities and future societies.
We welcome papers on the following and related topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Innovative urban planning approaches;
- Innovative business modes of urban regeneration;
- Old residential community renovation governance;
- Integration and coordination of urban agglomerations;
- Green cities assessment and operation management;
- Green community design, assessment, and operation;
- Green community investment and financing modes;
