Abstract
As cities continue to grow and evolve, maintaining and monitoring their infrastructure becomes an 2 increasingly challenging problem, requiring multidisciplinary approaches. This problem is as critical for 3 developing countries that are rapidly building their infrastructure (Gurara et al., 2018Ede et al., 2019) 4 as it is for already developed countries with aging infrastructure (Van Breugel, 2017). Researchers have 14 Such developments can also be integrated into digital twinning-a technology approach that creates 15 virtual replicas of physical infrastructure elements, systems, and cities-that offers a dynamic framework 16 for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance through data integration and simulation. The ability to 17 connect insights across these scales-from individual components to entire cities-makes digital twinning The article titled "Policy evaluation and performance assessment for sustainable urbanization: a study of 29 selected city corporations in Bangladesh" explores the interplay between urban governance and sustainable 30 urbanization goals in line with the sustainable development goals (SDG). Taking Bangladesh as a case study, 31 the paper focused on investigating how urban governance impacts the "sustainable cities and communities" 32 goal of the SDG agenda. Based on a comprehensive analysis of data collected from primary and secondary 33 sources, the study revealed significant disparities between stakeholder expectations and current state of 34 urban governance. To fill the identified gaps in the study, the paper has proposed several recommendations 35 that can be helpful for policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders.The second article titled "Evaluating the feasibility of constructing shopping centers on urban vacant
