Planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers, policymakers
and economists have to work together to ensure that planning and
development can meet our present needs without compromising the
ability of future generations. This collaboration was the aim of
the 12th International Conference on Sustainable Development and
Planning, from which the papers in this volume originate. 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 the 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 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 included papers
feature new academic findings and their applications in planning
and development strategies, assessment tools, and decision-making
processes.
