Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increased public awareness toward the balance between quality of life and environmental stewardship has driven the development of a city with sustainability elements. A sustainable city needs to have green ecosystems to create a better place to stay. The green ecosystems come from various critical success factors: design, planning, materials supply, infrastructure management, and transportation systems. Unfortunately, managing a sustainable city has frequently neglected supply chain management and logistics support. The city infrastructure has been built without the consent of responsible materials, excessive labour overtime, and less priority on the scarcity of natural resources. The sustainable city needs to be designed with an urban centre engineering that incorporates the triple bottom line. Responsible and accountable supply chain management and logistics are necessary to support the development of sustainable cities. The upstream–downstream production and consumption should be managed effectively and benefit the industry and society. Sustainable cities are suggested to deploy the Industry 4.0 technology to support the transparency and traceability of supply chain and logistics activities to ensure the efficient, responsible, and accountable usage of resources. Our focus in this Special Issue is to establish the sustainable city framework from a supply chain and logistics perspective. This Special Issue has encouraged the papers submission that contributes to the development of responsible and accountable supply chain management and logistics for sustainable cities through the theoretical and empirical contribution.
