Convergence, accelerated: introducing Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability

Abstract

Abstract Questions of sustainability and resilience surrounding the infrastructure that makes up our society are becoming ever-more relevant and increasingly important to address. Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability has been launched as a unique outlet for the publication of such work, bringing together a multidisciplinary, and in some places fragmented, community and creating a home journal for their research. Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability will focus on all kinds of infrastructure and all facets of sustainability, not just environmental assessment and protection but also economic and social factors. All research methodologies are encouraged including qualitative, quantitative, experimental, theoretical and applied work. This editorial serves as an introduction to our new journal, lays out our aims and intentions, and introduces the first published articles which we hope will provide a flavour of what’s to come.
