现在是时候重新关注城市研究和设计了。不断变化的气候和极端天气事件给世界各地的城市系统带来了独特的挑战。这些挑战揭示了伴随资源不平等和不公正等破坏性事件而来的社会障碍。从这个角度来看，我们为公正和可持续的城市系统提供了三个研究重点，以帮助解决这些问题。三个研究重点是：（1）社会公平与正义，（2）循环，（3）数字孪生。每个概念背景和未来的研究方向提供。对于社会公平和正义，未来的方向是强制性的公平分析和包容性做法，理解和调和历史上的不公正，以及有意与不同的社区利益攸关方融合。对于循环应用程序，它们是更好的集成度量，更强大的评估框架，以及多个空间和时间尺度的动态建模。数字孪生的未来发展方向包括制定降低复杂性的原则，集成模型和系统组件，以及减少数据访问的障碍。这些研究重点是实现联合国可持续发展目标的核心（即，1-没有贫困，8-体面工作和经济增长，10-减少不平等，11-可持续的城市和社区）。有用的社会和技术问题进行了讨论，我们强调优先本地化的研究工作的重要性，为社区参与的研究和共同开发实践提供指导，并解释这些优先事项如何相互作用，以适应不断发展的工业生态学领域。
Now is the time to refocus efforts in urban research and design. A changing climate and extreme weather events are presenting unique challenges to urban systems around the world. These challenges illuminate the social barriers that accompany disruptive events such as resource inequities and injustices. In this perspective, we provide three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems that help to address these matters. The three research priorities are: (1) social equity and justice, (2) circularity, and (3) digital twins. Conceptual context and future research directions are provided for each. For social equity and justice, the future directions are mandatory equity analysis and inclusionary practices, understanding and reconciling historical injustices, and intentional integration with diverse community stakeholders. For circularity applications, they are better metrics for integration, more robust evaluation frameworks, and dynamic modeling at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Future directions for digital twins include developing principles to reduce complexity, integrating model and system components, and reducing barriers to data access. These research priorities are core to meeting several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., 1—No Poverty, 8—Decent Work and Economic Growth, 10—Reduced Inequalities, and 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities). Useful social and technical matters are discussed throughout, where we highlight the importance of prioritizing localized research efforts, provide guidance for community‐engaged research and co‐development practices, and explain how these priorities interact to align with the evolving field of industrial ecology.
