United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a blueprint to address the world's most pressing challenges, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Research plays a pivotal role in understanding these complex issues, providing evidence-based insights to guide policy formulation, program development, and implementation strategies. Smart sustainable development refers to an innovative, forward thinking, and or technologically advanced approach that combines innovative solutions with sustainable practices to promote long-term environmental, social, and economic well-being. This Research Topic has been created in collaboration with an international event comprising online and face-to-face opportunities to highlight practical solutions to sustainability, in line with the United Nations' SDGs. This presents a unique opportunity for a wide range of sustainable practitioners, from academia, industry, and communities to present research works and projects with an innovation focus, enabling international networking and knowledge sharing to support a more sustainable and inclusive future. This Research Topic seeks to investigate both complete or ongoing projects introducing innovative solutions that are strongly aligned with the UN SDGs and have led to tangible outcomes with remarkable impact and benefit to sustainable development. The key aspects contributing to smart sustainable development include technological integration, environmental stewardship, social equity, economic prosperity, resilient communities and infrastructure, and collaboration and governance. We welcome contribution from individual researchers, academic groups and partnerships between academics and professionals. Research focused on using innovation to bridge the gap between global aspirations and local realities, taking into account diverse cultural, social, economic, and environmental contexts is particularly welcome. Topics can cover (but are not limited to) the following themes: Smart technologies to further sustainable development, including in built environment, biotechnologies, energy systems, health care, education, transportations, and emergency, and disaster risk management Sustainable infrastructure, including policies, creative design and the implementation of new methods, materials and approaches to the planning, construction and use of sustainable buildings, water and wastewater management, stormwater design and solid waste management Digitalization and intelligence for the uptake of sustainable solutions, including through smart energy systems, mobility, digital transformation and disruption, resilience and disaster management, and the growth of digital cities Community and healthcare solutions to benefit gender equality, community development, indigenous peoples, and the preservation of local, region and national cultural heritage in new ways Nature resource protection and management approaches, including environmental conservation, water-sensitive design, coastal erosion, systems solutions and adaptation to climate change Sustainable agricultural initiatives to increase the uptake and use of new approaches and methods, including ones which incorporate creative solutions to supporting natural ecosystems.

Smart Sustainable Cities of the Future
This book is intended to help explore the field of smart sustainable cities in its complexity, heterogeneity, and breadth, the many faces of a topical subject of major importance for the future that encompasses so much of modern urban life in an increasingly computerized and urbanized world. Indeed, sustainable urban development is currently at the center of debate in light of several ICT visions becoming achievable and deployable computing paradigms, and shaping the way cities will evolve in the future and thus tackle complex challenges. This book integrates computer science, data science, complexity science, sustainability science, system thinking, and urban planning and design. As such, it contains innovative computer–based and data–analytic research on smart sustainable cities as complex and dynamic systems. It provides applied theoretical contributions fostering a better understanding of such systems and the synergistic relationships between the underlying physical and informational landscapes. It offers contributions pertaining to the ongoing development of computer–based and data science technologies for the processing, analysis, management, modeling, and simulation of big and context data and the associated applicability to urban systems that will advance different aspects of sustainability. This book seeks to explicitly bring together the smart city and sustainable city endeavors, and to focus on big data analytics and context-aware computing specifically. In doing so, it amalgamates the design concepts and planning principles of sustainable urban forms with the novel applications of ICT of ubiquitous computing to primarily advance sustainability. Its strength lies in combining big data and context–aware technologies and their novel applications for the sheer purpose of harnessing and leveraging the disruptive and synergetic effects of ICT on forms of city planning that are required for future forms of sustainable development. This is because the effects of such technologies reinforce one another as to their efforts for transforming urban life in a sustainable way by integrating data–centric and context–aware solutions for enhancing urban systems and facilitating coordination among urban domains. This timely and comprehensive book is aimed at a wide audience across science, academia industry, and policymaking. It provides the necessary material to inform relevant research communities of the state–of–the–art research and the latest development in the area of smart sustainable urban development, as well as a valuable reference for planners, designers, strategists, and ICT experts who are working towards the development and implementation of smart sustainable cities based on big data analytics and context–aware computing.
