About Engineering Sustainability

Aims and scope

Engineering Sustainability aims to provide a forum for sharing the latest thinking from research and practice primarily in the civil engineering and infrastructure disciplines that include structural, material, construction, building, geotechnical, transportation, and environmental engineering and others, and to present the 'how to' of engineering a sustainable future. The journal features refereed papers and shorter articles relating to the pursuit and implementation of sustainability principles in civil engineering and infrastructure development, with the targeted audience including not only researchers and students, but also decision-makers and practitioners. New knowledge about and solutions for addressing the tensions between and integration of social, economic and environmental considerations are of particular relevance. Methodologies for assessing sustainability and its social, political, technical and educational issues are also encouraged. 

The topics falling into the scope of Engineering Sustainability include, but are not exclusive to, the following:

• Theories and principles of sustainability and their implementation in infrastructures

• Methodologies for assessing sustainability in civil engineering and infrastructure

• Sustainable construction engineering planning, design, and application

• Social, economic, and environmental sustainability in infrastructure engineering

• Policy, education, corporate social responsibility, of sustainability in engineering

• Net zero and carbon neutrality in building and infrastructure

• Sustainable building and infrastructure assessment

• Offsite prefabrication and modular construction for sustainability 

• Smart and digital technologies for infrastructure engineering sustainability

• Infrastructure resilience and integrated approaches addressing complexity and dynamics
