Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The alignment of management decisions with sustainability principles has come to play a crucial role in the delivery of net zero goals. In recent years, a paradigm shift has occurred, in which the erstwhile focus on the ‘techno-economics’ of engineering project delivery has converged with aspects of environmental management. However, designing such an integrative approach to project management generates its own challenges, particularly in terms of meeting the skills, costs and client expectations.
The overall aim of this Special Issue is to capture the emerging knowledge in this rapidly expanding field. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on research that is at the intersection of the engineering project management and environmental management disciplines, and welcomes contributions that range from theoretical studies on novel concepts and frameworks to real-world case studies that reveal their applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Challenges and opportunities related to integrating sustainability in project management;
- Case studies on techno-economic and environmental assessment, and the management of bespoke infrastructure projects (energy, transport);
- Innovative total productive maintenance that intergrates environmental management;
- New directions in green building/construction management;
- Assessment of true sustainability potential of innovative nature-inspired engineering projects;
- Community perspectives on delivering integrated sustainability project management.
I heartily look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Abhishek Tiwary
