About this Journal:
Computational Urban Science is an international open-access journal dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of urban systems through computational modeling, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.Computational Urban Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high-quality original articles, reviews, method papers, and opinion papers that focus on the intersection of computational sciences and urban sciences in building intelligent and resilient cities. It is an OA journal and the APCs are fully covered by Jiangxi Normal University until Dec 31, 2025. The journal aims to introduce the latest results in urban computing and its applications, examine both the spatial and social dimensions of urban networks and built environment, promote the cooperation between computational disciplines and the urban domain sciences, and build a bridge for scientific communication.
The journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary research that integrates computer science, urban studies, data science, and social sciences to analyze and address challenges in modern cities.
It aims to promote the development of intelligent urban systems and data-driven policies for sustainable urbanization, smart city management, and citizen well-being.This journal will focus on the development of research frameworks, theories, methods and good case studies of tackling key urban research challenges in the mobile and big data era. Sample topics include but not limited to: 1.Agent-based models of social interactions 2.Data sharing and dissemination in urban computing research 3.Large-scale Social activities in physical and virtual spaces 4.Multi-scale urban modeling 5.Privacy issues in mobile and big data and possible solutions
By leveraging big data and computational models, the journal facilitates deeper insights into urban dynamics, infrastructure, mobility, environment, and human behavior.
