Sustainable cities – Submisison deadline extended

This monothematic issue seeks to create a platform for interdisciplinary research on sustainable cities. Urban areas have become central to the global economy, yet they also face significant social and environmental challenges. Without addressing these issues, cities risk becoming overcrowded, polluted, and increasingly detrimental to the quality of life for their inhabitants. We invite submissions of original papers from diverse academic disciplines, presenting innovative research that can contribute to overcoming the key sustainability challenges facing urban areas worldwide.
Important dates: submission open date – June 1, 2025, manuscript submission extended deadline – November 30, 2025. Please inform the editorial office that the manuscript is intended for the monothematic issue (journal@tul.cz).

The research featured here confirms that circularity is no longer an optional pursuit.
