The 2026-04 issue of ABC2: Journal of Architecture, Building, Construction, and Cities examines digital evidence in the built environment across five studies. Younan et al. assess pandemic resilience in Cairo and Alexandria using a PSR–VIKOR framework. Gholami et al. map urban heat vulnerability in Tehran via satellite imagery. Aş Çemrek et al. present an AI workflow converting single photographs into 3D building models for heritage documentation in Turkey. Najafi traces how game-engine technology underpins city-scale digital twins in Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, and Riyadh. Omrani et al. examine digital traceability as a regulatory tool for Australian off-site construction. These studies show how digital tools gain lasting value through institutional trust and regulatory recognition.
