Buildings invites research papers related to the above theme for inclusion in a Special Issue arranged to be published in 2022.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest research findings and ideas with respect to the theme of strategies for sustainable urban development to readers globally.

The pursuance of sustainable urban development is a dynamic and long term mission as new challenges against the mission continuosly appear.

These strategies cross a wide range of dimensions, including governance, economic measures, technical methods, management mechanism, and other aspects.

The inclusion of these research studies on this specific theme in the journal will provide valuable theories and technologies for designating effective methods for promoting sustainable urban development.
