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.
