Frontiers in Built Environment is a multidisciplinary journal that focuses on the development of smart and sustainable methodologies for the design, construction and management of resilient buildings and infrastructure.

Led by Field Chief Editor Prof Izuru Takewaki (Kyoto Arts and Crafts University, Japan), the journal welcomes submissions in all areas of built environment research across all areas of civil engineering, within and beyond urban spaces. It is currently indexed in DOAJ, Scopus, and Web of Science (ESCI) among others.

The journal covers the following subject areas:

bridge engineering
building information modelling (BIM)
coastal and offshore engineering
computational methods in structural engineering
construction management
construction materials
earthquake engineering
fire Resistant engineering
geotechnical engineering
indoor environment
structural sensing, control, and asset management
sustainable design and construction
transportation and transit systems
urban science
wind engineering and science.

In addition, submissions in the following areas are encouraged:

computer simulation and data science for innovative design and construction
damage-tolerant resilient infrastructure and buildings
green building
smart cities
structural health monitoring and disaster prevention.

In particular, the journal welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 9: industry, innovation, and infrastructure.

Manuscripts that focus solely on climate change, human growth, education, or industry without a fundamental basis in the built environment are not suitable for publication in this journal. Additionally, studies that are purely engineering in nature, without considering the broader implications for the built environment, are also outside the journal's scope.

Frontiers in Built Environment is committed to advancing developments in the field by communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
