Description

In its 11th edition the International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning continues to attract academics, policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders from across the globe who discuss the latest advances in the field.

This volume presents selected papers that contribute to further advances in the field.

Energy saving and eco-friendly building approaches have become an important part of modern development, which places special emphasis on resource optimisation.

Planning has a key role to play in ensuring that these solutions as well as new materials and processes are incorporated in the most efficient manner. Problems related to development and planning, which affect rural and urban areas, are present in all regions of the world.

Accelerated urbanisation has resulted in deterioration of the environment and loss of quality of life.

Urban development can also aggravate problems faced by rural areas such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, amongst many others.

Taking into consideration the interaction between different regions and developing new methodologies for monitoring, planning and implementation of novel strategies can offer solutions for mitigating environmental pollution and non-sustainable use of available resources.
