Aims & Scope
The Journal of Sustainable Cities, Architecture, and Built Environment serves as an international,
interdisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and best practices in the
design, planning, and management of sustainable urban and built environments. The journal addresses
global challenges such as rapid urbanization, climate change, and resource depletion through integrative
approaches spanning architecture, urban design, environmental engineering, interior design, landscape
architecture, and sustainable technologies.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, technical reports, case studies, and policy
analyses that promote resilient, energy-efficient, and human-centered spaces which harmonize environmental
responsibility with social and economic well-being.
