New special issue announced

New ITcon special issue "Construction 5.0" announced.

In recent years, the rapid evolution of Industry 5.0 technologies has accelerated the digital transformation of many industries, including construction. Construction professionals and academics have been applying digital and robotic technologies to address various challenges. Construction 5.0 technologies offer new perspectives to analyse and empower theoretical techniques, aiming to improve construction productivity. However, the theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence for productivity improvement need further reinforcement.
