Aims and scope
Smart Construction and Sustainable Cities (SCSC) is an international open-access journal aiming to provide an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research platform for the application of information science, advanced digital technologies, and green sustainable technologies in modern cities’ construction, maintenance, and management to achieve low carbon, resilient, and sustainable cities.
SCSC accepts submissions of Research, Reviews, Perspectives, Comments, Brief Communications and Case Studies. Topics covered include but are not limited to
Smart technologies and integrated systems
