Research and practice papers on engineering a sustainable future.
Aims and scope
Engineering Sustainability provides a forum for sharing the latest thinking from research and practice, and increasingly is presenting 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 through engineering planning, design and application. The tensions between and integration of social, economic and environmental considerations within such schemes are of particular relevance. Methodologies for assessing sustainability, policy issues, education and corporate responsibility will also be included. The aims will be met primarily by providing papers and briefing notes (including case histories and best practice guidance) of use to decision-makers, practitioners, researchers and students.

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
Methodologies for assessing sustainability in engineering and infrastructure
Sustainable engineering planning, design, and application
Social, economic, and environmental sustainability in 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 engineering sustainability
Infrastructure resilience and integrated approaches addressing complexity and dynamics.
