近日，由我校主办的国际学术期刊《Human Settlements and Sustainability》（《人居环境与可持续发展》，简称HSS，ISSN 3050-6077）创刊号正式发布。该刊的推出，是我校城乡人居环境可持续发展研究领域的重要成果，标志着我校国际学术期刊建设取得新突破。

HSS期刊聚焦城乡人居环境可持续发展核心议题，秉承“多维度思想和实践”的办刊理念，致力于为全球学者和政策制定者搭建高水平学术交流平台。期刊由我校杨俊教授担任主编，并组建了一支由54名国内外知名专家（包括2名两院院士、2名国家杰出青年基金获得者、4名教育部特聘教授及22名国际编委）组成的编委团队。期刊与KeAi出版社（科学出版社与爱思唯尔合资成立）合作，采用开放获取（Open Access） 出版模式，所有文章均可在ScienceDirect平台免费阅读与下载。

创刊号精选了五篇原创前沿研究文章，内容涵盖基于自然的城市灾害解决方案、城市信息流与人口流空间特征分析、生理因素对室外热舒适度影响、外债对非洲国家经济增长作用机制以及特大城市海绵城市建设等前沿热点领域。这些研究结合实证分析与理论创新，为全球可持续发展提供了新的科学视角和实践路径。

HSS期刊的创办，积极响应了联合国可持续发展目标中关于可持续城市和社区的倡议。期刊注重多学科交叉融合，覆盖环境科学、社会科学、能源等广泛领域，关注发达国家与发展中国家的多元议题，着力打造具有国际影响力的学术高地。根据发展规划，期刊出版周期前三年为季刊，之后转为双月刊，力争在五年内进入SCI和SSCI检索，成为人居环境领域国际权威学术平台。

HSS期刊是我校主办的第四个学术期刊，也是首个国际学术期刊。该刊的成功创办，是我校学科建设与科研实力持续提升的显著标志，对于进一步扩大学校学术影响力、增强国际影响力、服务国家战略和全球可持续发展事业具有重要意义。
