Within the academic community, there is a growing body of researchers tackling challenges and developing new computational and data-driven methods for enabling smart and sustainable urban systems. This special collection includes a curated set of manuscripts representative of this growing community of scholars and spans issues related to asset management, data integration, financial sustainability and system interoperability in cities. The works employ an array of methods including data clustering, proximity learning, hedonic pricing analysis and meta-analytical literature review. This collection is the culmination of an open call for papers announced at the 2017 International Workshop on Computing in Civil Engineering (IWCCE 2017) that took place June 25-27, 2017 in Seattle, Washington, USA. In the end, this special collection aims to catalyze new collaborations and synergies across the broad interests of researchers interested in computational approaches that enable smart and sustainable urban systems.
