Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infrastructure, such as transport and water networks, forms the backbone of economies and societies worldwide. However, climate change-induced and other system failures are increasingly disrupting their functionality, highlighting the necessity and significance of resilient infrastructure. These assets' complexity, growing interdependence, and diverse functions and stakeholders often exacerbate this situation. Acknowledging this urgent need, this Special Issue aims to bring together a comprehensive collection of scholarly papers tackling key infrastructure resilience aspects to achieve future-proof infrastructure assets.
The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Taxonomy (e.g., concepts and contexts) of infrastructure resilience;
- Performance measures/ frameworks for assessing infrastructure resilience;
- Optimization approaches to improving infrastructure resilience;
- Data, risks, and uncertainties in managing infrastructure resilience;
- Case studies that examine practices in infrastructure resilience;
- Socioeconomic perspectives of infrastructure resilience (e.g., impacted communities such as 15-minute neighborhoods, stakeholders such as strengthening stakeholder participation and collaboration for adaptive pathways to resilient infrastructure, demand, finance, and governance).
