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.

Unlocking the aware citizen: How digital literacy moderates the translation of political awareness into participation

Gavaa Zanabazar, Qaiser Mohi Ud Din, Tao Hong

Political awareness is widely recognized as a foundation for democratic participation, yet the mechanisms through which awareness translates into action remain underspecified, particularly in digitally mediated environments. While prior research has examined political awareness, civic engagement, and digital literacy separately, few studies have tested how these factors interact to shape participation. It has largely overlooked how digital competencies condition the behavioral pathway from…

Urban vulnerability to extreme heat: An assessment of Slovak cities

Veronika Toth, Miriam Sebova, Timea Saboslajova

Although cities are now home to more than half of the world’s population, these concentrations of people, assets, and economic activities are subject to increasing risks as the consequences of climate change begin to take effect. As a result, the concept of urban vulnerability has gained renewed prominence in academic discourse and policy discussion, as it is a crucial means of understanding and addressing the impacts of climate change on cities. Within this context, the paper focuses on urban…

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…
