Call for papers – Monothematic issue 2026
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).

Transitioning to the green circular economy: The age of VUCA

In a world defined by environmental degradation, economic volatility, and technological disruption, the circular economy (CE) has moved from a theoretical concept to a practical imperative. This monothematic issue brings together diverse global perspectives and empirical research that demonstrate how CE serves as a strategic response to today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) conditions. The research featured here confirms that circularity is no longer an optional pursuit.

In Central Europe, the rapid expansion of warehouse infrastructure has been particularly notable, with the total net warehouse area reaching 59 million square meters in 2023. This development contributes to the formation of urban heat islands, which adversely impact the microclimate of nearby cities, exacerbating environmental challenges. The need for sustainable…
