Future Cities and Environment is an engineering-focused journal dedicated to advancing original research on technologies and systems that address the environmental impact of cities and ensure their long-term sustainability. The journal highlights developments in architecture and architectural engineering, civil and structural engineering, energy and power technology, environmental and mechanical engineering, and renewable energy and sustainability. We prioritise contributions that present rigorous experimental investigations, analytical and computational modelling, engineering design innovations, and applied research with demonstrable technical outcomes. Critical reviews and case studies are considered where they provide substantial engineering insight or performance evaluation. For more information on our submission and author guidelines.
As a fully open access journal, all FCE publications have a broad audience from around the world and are free to read and download.
