This special collection explores the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of urban expansion; when, where and how expansion can and should be contained; and when, where, and how it can and should be managed in an orderly, inclusive, and sustainable manner.
This special collection considers cities’ implementation efforts towards achieving their transformation to low-carbon, climate resilient cities. It investigates the extent of progress and the effectiveness of solutions that cities are making to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts.
This special collection investigates how emerging technologies are informed by gender and generate gendered effects in ways that support or undermine energy policies and initiatives.
This special collection investigates the externalities of modern methods of construction (MMC) and examines the dominant narrative used to promote MMC.

Investigations into how the retrofitting of domestic building stocks can be accelerated and what capabilities (policies, resources, training and practices) are needed to achieve this.
Research on the specific challenges, impacts and fragilities that urban densification creates at different scales.
An examination of how education and training can provide students with capabilities to create zero-carbon built environments.
An exploration of what constitutes appropriate and scalable carbon metrics in the built environment to inform policy and practice.
