New Journal - Sustainable Cities and Society
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS) publishes a wide range of original high quality papers covering fundamental and applied research, critical reviews and case studies. It focuses on research and multi-disciplinary work aiming to reduce the environmental and societal impact of future cities. The journal covers topics including design, modelling, analytical tools, testing/experimental work, optimization, environmental assessment, new codes, regulations, policy, economics, monitoring, post occupancy evaluation and legislation related to sustainable cities. The journal will stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on the development of sustainable cities.
Key areas covered by SCS are:
- Energy (creating and securing sustainable energy supplies and improving the efficiency of power generation, transmission and use);
- Water (sustainable water management and water preservation/recycling);
- Air (management of air pollution, improvement of air quality and reduction of CO2 emissions from buildings and transport); and
- The Earth (preservation of raw materials, new construction materials and energy efficient design).
The journal provides a rapid and effective means for dissemination of the latest research in the field of sustainable cities. In addition to fundamental and applied papers, review articles on important developments will be included and special issues devoted to international conferences and reviews of books and major reports will be published.
The journal welcomes submissions from engineers (mechanical, building services, civil, buildings, electrical, manufacturing and chemical), architects, planners, scientists (physicists and chemists), energy experts, social scientists, economists and policy makers. All submissions are subjected to peer review from leading experts in the field.
7group partner John Boecker will serve on the Editorial Board.
