Call for Papers: Special Issue on Architectural Design and Construction for Smart and Sustainable Buildings and Cities
Before the pandemic, society stood on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. However, the pandemic forced new ways of working, producing numerous tactics and adaptions among different built environment groups.

This special issue will include the following topics, among others:
- Architectural, urban, cultural and management contexts
- Procurement to improve the quality of the built environment
- Theoretical approaches for planning and development
- Designing cities and the built environment for social inclusion
- Informal cities

- Approaches to infrastructure assessment, sustainable solutions and whole-life use
- Impacts of the pandemic on the design and construction of buildings and what are the cascading impacts
- Impacts in work/life balance, health, safety, and knowledge sharing
- Resilient environments and systems.
This Special Issue will publish the best papers submitted to the CIB World Building Congress, Melbourne, Australia, June 2022 on the mentioned topics. Papers published in 2021 and 2022 will be available for free.
