Peaceful and Secure Cities
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Faced with an uncertain tomorrow, the world is trying to find an opportunity to deal with the ubiquitous presence of threats. An important aspect of security is the need to create peaceful living spaces. Cities have long acted as shelters. The urban fabric is not only the structure of buildings and the characteristics of urban spaces: it is also often a guarantee of the free coexistence of people, animals and plants.
This collection of articles aims to highlight two aspects of the architectural and construction sector, namely, peace and security. Identifying the key success factors for urban building in the context of these concepts is a specific goal.
Researchers interested in the analysis of the factors determining the sustainable development of urban spaces, free from threats of various origins, can join this Topic.
