Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Engineering Sustainability

Aims & Scope

Engineering Sustainability provides a forum for sharing the latest thinking from research and practice, and increasingly is presenting the 'how to' of engineering a resilient future.

The journal features refereed papers and shorter articles relating to the pursuit and implementation of sustainability principles through engineering planning, design and application.

The tensions between and integration of social, economic and environmental considerations within such schemes are of particular relevance.

Methodologies for assessing sustainability, policy issues, education and corporate responsibility will also be included.

The aims will be met primarily by providing papers and briefing notes (including case histories and best practice guidance) of use to decision-makers, practitioners, researchers and students.
