Dear Colleague:

We hope this message finds you well.

This journal or other potential issues aim to explore how engineering principles and practices can be integrated with environmental psychology, social behavior research, and sustainability science to address complex societal challenges. The proposed theme represents a blend of engineering innovation and social–environmental understanding, seeking to bridge technological advancement with human well-being, pro-environmental behavior, and sustainable community development.

With rapid urbanization, digital transformation, and climate-related pressures, interdisciplinary collaboration between environmental design, social psychology, and technological systems has become increasingly critical. This Special Issue aims to examine how built environments, smart systems, sustainable infrastructure, and digital platforms influence psychological processes, behavioral outcomes, and social interaction patterns.

We invite a wide range of submissions — including original research papers, review articles, conceptual analyses, and case studies.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Kind regards,

Dr. Qisen Zhu
