Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce this Special Issue of the journal Sustainability. We cordially invite your ground-breaking research in sustainable project management and smart infrastructure development for publication in this Special Issue. This issue seeks to compile innovative approaches and evidence-based solutions that address contemporary challenges in achieving efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability across project lifecycles and engineering systems.
Of particular interest are the following topics: sustainable project management practices, digital transformation in industry, lean and industry 4.0, sustainable technology development, smart infrastructure development and various areas within the scope of this Special Issue including AI integration in industry. It is necessary to aggregate the latest case studies and data analyses to shape the industry’s strategies that can improve project management practices and infrastructure development. As such, a wide range of research participation from academia, corporations, governments and NGOs is required to develop feasible methods and take meaningful actions.
Building on this Special Issue’s scope, we particularly welcome contributions that either propose novel works or present findings with demonstrable practical relevance. Systematic literature review papers in these areas are also welcome in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Indra Gunawan
