In an era of rapid urbanization and increasing environmental challenges, it has become crucial to rethink the design of cities, and to construct and manage our built environments. The RRAU conference provides a platform for professionals and academics to exchange knowledge, share innovative ideas, and foster collaborations that can shape the future of architecture and urbanism.
Resilient architecture and urbanism emphasize on the ability of cities, communities, and buildings to withstand and recover from shocks, design implications, and stresses, whether they are caused by natural disasters, climate change, social upheavals, or economic challenges. With integrating resilience into the design practices, more adaptive, sustainable, and inclusive cities that can thrive in the face of adversity can be created.
Responsible architecture and urbanism aim to address the social, cultural, economic, and environmental impacts of our built environment. It involves designing spaces that promote equity, diversity, and social cohesion, minimizing resource consumption and waste, and preserving and enhancing the natural and cultural heritage of our cities. Through responsible practices, more livable, harmonious, and ethical urban environments can be built that meet the needs of the present and future generations.
RRAU will explore a wide range of topics related to resilience and responsibility in architecture and urbanism, sustainable building design, construction technologies, and urban planning strategies that promote social equity and inclusivity, innovative approaches to energy efficiency and renewable technologies, the integration of nature in urban environments, and many other cutting-edge research and practical applications.
The 6th International Conference on Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU) is a gathering of experts, researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts from around the world to explore and discuss the vital topics of resilience and responsibility in architecture and urban development. It features keynote speeches, panel discussions, paper presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities and encourages participants to actively engage in dialogue, exchange experiences, and contribute their unique perspectives to the ongoing discourse on building resilient and responsible cities.

iDirect is a new and efficient platform that allows direct submissions of research papers across various fields of science. iDirect accepts and covers all fields of science, not only those related to a particular conference. Individual authors are encouraged to submit their research discussing new ideas and presenting solutions to everyday problems that fall under numerous scientific themes. The iDirect platform is integrated into the peer review system for online conferences. You can publish your work through iDirect without the need to attend the conference or adhere to any submission deadlines. iDirect accepts a wide range of disciplines, eliminating the need to align with the conference's specific theme or scope. Based on the scope of your research, we will identify the most relevant proceedings for publication. The editor will schedule a discussion with you to review your presentation before proceeding to the peer-review process. Learn more here!
IEREK puts a lot of effort into expediting the peer review process to publish articles as quickly as possible. This requires prompt responses from all authors to the editors' comments, if any. Your swift response is highly appreciated to advance the production process and get your articles online. We prioritize the first author to respond as per our formula. The conference proceedings will be divided into multiple books, with the first one scheduled for publication within 3 months after the conference date. We encourage all authors to aim for publication in the first release.

About ASTI
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).
About SLNR
Sustainable Landscape Planning and Natural Resources Management (SLNR) is a peer-reviewed book series that presents groundbreaking research through the intersection of two main areas that of which are ‘Sustainable Landscape Planning’ and ‘Natural Resources Management’.
