This Conference aims to put together an up-to-date collection of cutting-edge recent focused on smart resilient strategies and sustainability assessment for future communities. Sustainable cities and communities continuously target research areas that include socio-economic and environmental transformations, sustainability assessment, and smart-resilient interventions. Specific areas highlight key directions in sustainable urbanism, sustainability transitions, and responding to the climate change crises. The ongoing pandemic also helps us to identify smart strategies that could enhance the resilience and sustainability of our cities and urban systems.
To address these matters, we invite abstracts that explore any of the following 5 sub-themes:
(1) Sustainability assessment and indicator development,
(2) Integrated information-based cities,
(3) ICT for smart resilient cities,
(4) Sustainable and resilient strategies for the urban environment, and
(5) Campus sustainability
