Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous acceleration of urbanization and increasing population growth, road and transportation infrastructure has become increasingly indispensable for modern cities. However, due to excessive development and unreasonable planning, for a long time, the road structures and transportation facilities of many cities have had many serious problems, such as uneven road surfaces, cement fatigue cracks, piles of garbage and waste, etc. These problems can not only affect the safety and service life of roads but also have many negative impacts on urban environment and sustainable development.
Under this background, this Special Issue aims to focus on the sustainable development of urban infrastructure, including but not limited to the following topics: 1. Improvement of road and transportation facilities to ensure their robustness, safety and sustainability. 2. Maintenance of road surface structures to improve their smoothness, hardness and waterproof performance. 3. Innovation of material technology construction method to reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage caused by construction. 4. Optimization of road and transportation facilities management to ensure their safety and sustainability.
Therefore, this Issue intends to fill the research gaps in the sustainable development of urban infrastructure. Accordingly, papers concerned with various planning and design elements related to the sustainable development and safety of transportation facilities are welcome.

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. 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). 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.
