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 deadline – October 31, 2025. Please inform the editorial office that the manuscript is intended for the monothematic issue (journal@tul.cz).
