Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In 2015, all member states of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet, and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere by 2030. Buildings and infrastructure are directly related to the achievement of some SDGs, such as clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and they also play an essential role in underpinning the other SDGs in education, health, and economic growth. Therefore, achieving sustainable development of buildings and infrastructure is critical to guiding the economic, social, and environmentally sustainable transformation of cities. Moreover, given the globally negative impact caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, investment in, and construction and operation of sustainable buildings and infrastructures have become fundamental conditions for countries to respond to COVID-19. As such, this Topical Collection aims to explore the influence features and pathways of buildings and infrastructure on the achievement of 2030 SDGs, and to propose the directions, strategies, and solutions for cities to improve the sustainability of buildings and infrastructures. We welcome original research including—but not limited to—the following topics and themes:

• Buildings, infrastructures and urban environment
• Buildings, infrastructures and urban resilience
• Buildings, infrastructures and energies
• Buildings, infrastructures and clmate responses
• Buildings, infrastructures and COVID-19 responses
• Buildings, infrastructures and health
• Buildings, infrastructures and education
• Buildings, infrastructures and sustainable development models
• Buildings, infrastructures, sustainable production and consumption models
• Buildings, infrastructures and promoting equality and justice
• Buildings, infrastructures and promoting global partnerships
