Smart Materials and Urban Systems is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research on innovative smart materials and their integration into urban construction, infrastructure, and sustainable city development. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, architects, urban planners, and technologists to explore the design, performance, and application of materials that enhance the functionality, resilience, and sustainability of urban systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Design, fabrication, and characterization of smart, adaptive, and responsive materials for urban construction
• Integration of smart materials into buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, and other urban infrastructure
• Self-healing, energy-efficient, and environmentally adaptive materials for sustainable cities
• Advanced composites, multifunctional materials, and nanomaterials for urban applications
• Performance evaluation, durability, and lifecycle assessment of smart materials
• Simulation, modeling, and experimental studies of material–structure interactions in urban systems
• Innovations in urban systems incorporating sensing, actuation, and intelligent control technologies
• Case studies on smart material applications in city infrastructure and public facilities
• Green and sustainable construction materials leveraging smart material technologies
• Policy, standards, and guidelines for implementing smart materials in urban development
