In regions where threats are prevalent, a new wave of urbanization is emerging, bringing with it new potential for resilient investment. The risk of disaster, poverty, and population density are all rising in urban areas. Urbanization -especially rapid and poorly planned- occurring in an environment of widespread poverty, can create risk due to its expanding rate and increase in population density. In many cities, areas of high-risk exposure are shown to overlap with growing populations and economic activity. Over the years, urban planning has taken a technical and political role in ensuring the well-being of a city’s residents. As of the late 20th century, as economic and environmental crises began to emerge because of previous models of urban planning, the welfare of the public has become the main concern for urban planners. Urban planners try to keep the balance between it and maintaining sustainability standards. Necessities like water and air, along with the infrastructure of an urban area, including transportation, communication, and accessibility are a few of the main concerns of urban planners. Urban planning goes hand in hand with architectural design, for they both have to work to protect a living space from unforeseen dangers and provide necessities like infrastructure related to public transportation, open spaces, housing developments, community organization, food security, nearby amenities, and numerous other things. In the “Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development” we’re planning to tie urban planning and architectural design together, and discuss how they both contribute to the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a principle aiming to fulfill human development objectives while preserving the natural system's ability to offer essential natural resources and ecosystem services to humans.
Scope:
In the 10th edition of its international conference titled “Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development (UPADSD),” IEREK plans to continue the conversation that ties urban planning and architectural design to reach the common goal of sustainable development. The conference will discuss topics such as strategic urban planning, which requires setting ambitious goals and determining desired areas of city growth, as well as sustainable architecture and development. On the topic of sustainable architecture, the idea of its synonymous term green or environmental architecture will be discussed, as green architecture in itself is a challenge for every architect. Green architecture’s main goal is producing smart designs and using available technologies, ensuring that these produced structures emit minimal harm to both the ecosystem and the community. The end goal of green architecture is to fulfill the civilians’ current demands without risking the capacity of future generations to fulfill their own needs and that summarizes the purpose of urban planning.
Statement of purpose:
The intended outcome of the “Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development” conference is a community where resources and living conditions satisfy human needs without jeopardizing the stability and integrity of the planet. Our conference aims to bring together a group of professionals and industry pioneers, whose main goal is sustainable development. The goal of sustainable development is to strike a balance between social progress, environmental preservation, and economic growth. Through fruitful discussions, the objective of the conference is to enrich the minds of everyone present. Knowledge sharing and discussion are among the most important concepts the “Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development” conference tries to embed.
