Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to give a full view of what is to be done in Sustainable Construction and in Healthy Construction.
Construction has a significant impact for both circular economy objectives. We have to rethink the destination of resources that are removed from the natural environment for construction. Measures, strategies, and assessment of the sustainability of construction are the path to circular, restitutive, or even regenerative construction. The impact of construction on the natural environment can be positive and even contribute to its improvement.
People spend about 80% of their time inside buildings. The impact that construction has on people's health has to be evaluated, health promotion strategies defined based on construction. Construction can be health promoting.
Authors are invited to submit papers on the following topics: Environment Sustainability in Construction; Economical Sustainability in Construction; Social Sustainability in Construction; Assessment Sustainability in Construction; Renewable Construction with Sustainability; Circular Construction; Restitutive and Regenerative Construction; Healthy Construction; Sustainable and Healthy Construction; Assessing Healthy Construction and Sustainable Construction in cities. We hope to create an up-to-date platform focusing on construction within the journal Sustainability.
