Digital and Intelligent Technologies and Application in Urban Construction, Operation, Maintenance, and Renewal
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This topic explores the transformative technologies and impacts of digitalization and artificial intelligence throughout the process of the construction, operation, maintenance, and renewal of urban infrastructure, including contributions on the following three core themes:
(1) Theories and methods on how to enhance the application of technologies such as BIM, the IoT, AI, and machine learning to meet the needs of construction, operation, and renewal;
(2) Digital and smart technologies in urban planning, infrastructure construction, operation, and maintenance;
(3) Theory and application exploration of digital and smart technologies to promote urban renewal and green and sustainable development. The goal of this topic is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that provides actionable insights for shaping technologically advanced, resilient, and sustainable cities of the future.
Original research articles, review articles, case studies, and conceptual articles are welcome, and comparisons between different urban contexts and technology applications are encouraged.
