Recently, University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB)was approvedto launchEngineering Cities, a sub-journal ofEngineering, the journal of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The journal is supervised by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, hosted by USTB, with Professor YUE Qingrui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the Research Institute of Urbanization and Urban Safety, serving aseditor-in-chief.
Engineering Cities
Engineering Citiesfocuses on key scientific issues and challenges in urban science and engineering. It prioritizes cutting-edge international research directions, including complexurbansystems, urban safety and resilience, urban renewal and sustainable development, climate change and the urban environment, digital twins and smart cities, and urban governance.
The journal is committed to building a high-level international academic exchange platform, promoting deep multidisciplinary integration, encouraging the synergistic development of original theories, technologies, and engineering practices, advancing the understanding of urban systems and technological innovation, and fostering the global growth of emerging interdisciplinary fields in urban science.
Prof. YUE Qingrui noted that amid the accelerated advancement of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, scientific and technological innovation demands higher-level academic journals and higher-quality academic exchange platforms, creating an unprecedented historical opportunity to build world-class scientific and technological journals with international influence.
The launch ofEngineering Citiesreflects USTB'sstrongacademicfoundationand forward-looking vision. It will also provide solid academic support for academic research, policy formulation, and engineering practice in urban development both in China and globally.
In the future,Engineering Citieswill adhere to the principles of open collaboration and international perspective, actively pool global wisdom to inject strong impetus into the sustainable, resilient, and intelligent development of cities.
