Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Elements of building, technical, transmission, green, or blue infrastructure are essential to communities and are an important part of surface infrastructure. Thanks to digitization, robotization, and automation, built facilities are becoming more comfortable and sustainable. Designed construction facilities using modern technologies offer an opportunity to achieve the idea of the Digital Twin (DT). As many case studies over the past few decades have shown, the management of such facilities is more effective than traditional analog methods using traditional communication channels. At the same time, the construction of such facilities using modern technologies is faster and more efficient.
This Special Issue will collect articles on a wide range of topics related to existing and new methods of designing, implementing, and managing construction facilities. We encourage you to submit manuscripts in which new technologies have been applied for the design of both building and infrastructure elements (including transmission and green/blue infrastructure). The topic will also include the application of modern technologies: BIM (Building Information Modeling), VR (Virtual Reality), AI (Artificial Intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things), etc. The design, implementation, and management of construction facilities have evolved significantly in recent years with the introduction of innovative sensors, modern data communication systems, or ICT solutions. As a result, innovative approaches to building new broad infrastructure are particularly welcome in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
