Monothematic issue 2026 (published August 25, 2026)
Sustainable cities

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.

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.

Application of self-organising maps to analysed bike-sharing usage in large cities: A case study of Seville

Luis Perez-Pulido, Angel Mena-Nieto, Jose Carlos Vides

This study provides a quantitative analysis of the relationship between Seville’s public bicycle-sharing system usage and the city’s environmental conditions, employing an unsupervised artificial intelligence method. The dataset spans from 2018 to 2023 and combines operational service data (daily rentals, turnover) with weather data (temperature, precipitation, humidity), including the heat index as a measure of thermal comfort. The method is based on self-organising maps (SOM), implemented…

Are sustainable cities attractive to digital nomads? A machine learning approach

Pedro R. Palos-Sanchez, Yendry Lezcano-Calderon, Jose A. Folgado‑Fernandez, Pilar Giraldez-Puig

This study explores the determinants of urban sustainability for digital nomads by predicting the nomad_score, a composite indicator of city attractiveness for remote workers, using supervised machine learning. Data were collected from NomadList and open city datasets, covering 668 destinations and 27 quantitative variables related to cost of living, connectivity, safety, social inclusion, and lifestyle. Gradient boosting, random forest, neural network, decision tree, AdaBoost, linear…

A six-dimensional review of the EU’s smart city agenda in practice

Patrik Volosin, Tomas Koren, Matus Kubak

European Smart City policy has become a flagship of EU innovation, yet systematic evidence on how these ambitions translate into real urban projects remains scarce. Using project metadata from the European Commission’s CORDIS (Community Research and Development Information Service) repository extracted in 2025, we harmonize completed projects across FP7 (2007–2013), Horizon 2020 (2014–2020) and Horizon Europe (2021–2027) to identify 725 Smart City projects with explicit city-level targeting.…

Reimagining campus mobility through the lens of the 15-Minute City

Daniela Surmikova, Peter Dzupka

The 15-Minute City concept envisions urban environments where residents can access essential services within a short walking or cycling distance. Although education is recognized as one of the core functions within this framework, the specific role of universities in promoting proximity-based urban models remains largely unexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining how universities, as significant generators of mobility, can contribute to the realization of the 15-Minute City…
