SSRN is pleased to announce the launch of the Responsible Urbanization Special Topic Hub. Here, our subject matter experts have curated a view into early-stage research, including preprints, working papers, and conference proceedings, with insights on the value of urbanization from economic, social, and environmental perspectives.

RESPONSIBLE URBANIZATION SPECIAL TOPIC HUB
Hub Page: https://www.ssrn.com/index.cfm/en/responsible-urbanization/

Description: SSRN's Responsible Urbanization Special Topic Hub provides a curated view into early-stage research addressing the challenges and opportunities created by the rapid rate of change in both developing and established cities and towns around the world. Improving and managing cities with their high concentrations of people, infrastructures, housing, and economic activities in ways that promote long-term viability, reduce consumption and waste, and minimize harmful impacts on both people and the environment is key to creating urban resilience that can mitigate the risk of disasters and climate change. This special topic hub presents insights from many disciplines that may inform the ongoing conversation on the study of cities and the practices that develop and build them so that they are better able to handle future challenges.

SSRN, Elsevier's world-leading preprint platform devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of early-stage research, is committed to advancing societal progress through quality knowledge and education. Research on SSRN is free to download and upload.

It is important to note that many of these papers have not been edited or benefited from the pivotal role of peer-review, which validates and improves the quality of final published journal articles.
