About this Research Topic
As the world's population continues to grow, urbanization is also increasing, leading to significant challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions, and resource depletion. The housing sector is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions, and addressing sustainability in this sector is critical for mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Sustainable housing and communities refer to the development and management of buildings and neighborhoods that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. Achieving sustainable housing and communities requires a collaborative approach involving architects, planners, developers, policymakers, and residents. Effective policies and regulations can play a vital role in promoting sustainable housing and communities, such as building codes, energy efficiency standards, and zoning regulations.
The goal of this Research Topic is to address the challenges of sustainable transition in urban housing and community, with a focus on developing effective strategies and policies for promoting sustainable development. To achieve this goal, the Research Topic will explore innovative and sustainable design, construction, and management practices that can reduce the environmental impact of urban housing and communities, while also promoting social and economic equity. The Research Topic will also examine policy and regulatory frameworks that can support sustainable housing and community development.
The scope of the Research Topic of Sustainable Transition for Urban Housing and Community encompasses a range of themes related to promoting sustainable and livable urban environments. Contributors are encouraged to address the following specific themes:
1) social and economic sustainability in urban housing and community development;
2) policy and regulatory frameworks for promoting sustainable housing and community development;
3) sustainable renovation and retrofitting of existing urban housing and communities;
4) energy-efficient and low-carbon technologies and solutions;
5) innovative sustainable design and construction practices;
6) community engagement and participation;
7) sustainability Assessment and related policies for urban housing;
8) low carbon energy transition for urban housing;
9) zero-carbon community and city
10) livability of urban housing and residential satisfaction of occupants
11) green and sustainable construction
12) social innovation for urban affordable housing renovation
We welcome a variety of manuscript types, including original research articles, reviews, case studies, and policy analyses. We also encourage the submission of interdisciplinary manuscripts that bring together perspectives from different fields, including architecture, urban planning, engineering, social sciences, and environmental studies.
