More housing or optimum residence…

Draining the swamp requires great sacrifices, long-term plans and policies. This is only possible with the optimum design of the working and residential areas of the households. Otherwise, more housing, more traffic, more environmental pollution, greater economic losses, more loss of time and more work stress are inevitable. More housing production will produce results, just as the construction of a new overpass or underpass in urban traffic does not solve the traffic problem in question, and only postpones it. The only solution to this is to narrow the gap between the housing demand of individuals and the real housing need. This will be achieved through public service announcements and public awareness activities and trainings.

We are planning to organize the 1st International Urban and Environmental Research Congress with vision-forming titles and related sub-themes on these and similar topics, under the leadership of our journals in the ICAM Network publishing group. While we are planning to hold the first of our congress in Turkey, we are planning to organize the second and subsequent ones in different countries on a rotating basis. We are planning to organize the first of our international congress as part of the 100th Anniversary of our Republic. In this context, I share with you, our esteemed readers, on the occasion of this article, that we are expecting stakeholders and support from every sector and segment.

Dear Readers and Dear Authors;

We are together again with our theme of optimum housing solutions in our 53rd publication. Since our 2023 issues will be under Web of Science monitoring during this period, we expect more attention and more original work from our editors, referees and authors. In this context, we expect more foreign language work to come in our new issues.
