Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The built environment is rapidly emerging as a critical frontier for our collective human, environmental and economic futures. Built infrastructure will play a critical role in our response to many of the most pressing global challenges: Rapid urbanization, changing demographics, property market dynamics, energy consumption, sustainable development, productivity, and the list goes on. The application of digital technology as a mediator of human interaction with the built environment is increasing, the integration of digital infrastructure within the fabric of the built environment is growing, and the quantity and quality of digital data emanating from and about the built environment are exploding. These drivers demand new and urgent considerations of built environment informatics.
This Special Issue of Informatics welcomes submissions from multiple perspectives on the broad compass of what might usefully contribute to the genesis of a new field of study particular to built environment informatics. We encourage authors to submit original research, work in progress, reviews, case studies and viewpoint articles on any aspect of informatics with direct relevance and connection to the built environment.
Potential application areas include: Health, aging, education, housing, business, productivity, security, construction, design, facilities management, supply chain management, project management, property, urban planning, megaprojects, and infrastructure.
