    Forthcoming - March 2026 -- The 2026-02 issue of ABC2: Journal of Architecture, Building, Construction, and Cities brings together interdisciplinary research addressing sustainability across material, technological, urban, and educational dimensions of the built environment. The contributions explore bioreceptive architectural design, digital construction and data-driven systems, circular performance assessment, neighbourhood-scale decision support, and the social value of urban green spaces. Overall, the articles highlight how sustainability is advanced through context-sensitive practices, integrative frameworks, and institutional capacity building.

    ABC2 Volume 2026, Issue 1 presents five research contributions advancing sustainable transitions in architecture, building, construction, and cities through convergence of human experience, digital innovation, and professional practice. The issue examines cognitive science frameworks for urban density management, fuzzy-based evaluation of green building performance, barriers to 3D printing adoption in developing economies, theory-informed implementation of construction exoskeletons, and integration of embodied carbon accounting into quantity surveying practice. This issue demonstrates that sustainable futures emerge when organisational capacity, workforce competencies, and user acceptance align with technological capabilities across diverse global contexts.
