This volume contains research from the 10th International
Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning. The papers
included in this volume form a collection of research from
academics, policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders from
across the globe who discuss the latest advances in the field.
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. 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. The application of new academic findings to planning and
development strategies, assessment tools and decision-making
processes are all covered in this book.
