Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable development goals (SDGs) have been the focus of research in the field of urban and construction management and have continued to attract scholarly attention along with the complexity of environmental pollution and organization. With the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence, technological innovation, or big data bring to urban and construction management, traditional management decisions have had to consider both schedule, quality, profit, and responsiveness to SDGs. Unfortunately, existing research does not provide a uniform understanding of SDGs in urban and construction management. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to report advances in urban and construction management research towards SDGs through a multidisciplinary perspective in line with the scope of Buildings. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of urban and construction management research towards SDGs and their applications in diverse areas. Specifically, it aims to provide new contributions to decision making for urban and construction management. We welcome new discoveries that reveal urban and construction management research towards SDGs. We welcome contributions based on theoretical foundations and using quantitative and qualitative methods and encourage authors to provide empirical and theoretical research papers, critical literature reviews, and interdisciplinary research.
