Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Smart Cities" provide new ideas to enhance urban residents' quality of life sustainably and equitably. By 2050, 85% of the world's population will be urban. With the help of advanced sensing, information and communication techniques, a city becomes smarter by optimizing resources and services. At the core of a smart city lies the sensors and actuators embedded in the smart devices that sense the environment to facilitate effective decision-making. The sensors are used to obtain information in real-time related to energy, health, transportation, security, water, waste management, etc. A limited budget due to the global economic slowdown, resource constraints, cyber security, and continuous advancement of IC and software technologies are some of the few challenges that affect the implementation of smart cities. The aim of this Special Issue is to report on the design and development of smart sensors, a universal interface platform, and the IoT framework, extending it to next-generation networks for monitoring smart city parameters This endeavor includes building innovative sensors, for monitoring various parameters related to advanced sustainable smart city, addressing some of the cyber security issues and making the data accessible through cloud computing.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
