The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as
biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health
and living conditions, especially but not only in developing
countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to
search for integrated solutions to make development more
sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and
approved the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". On 1st
January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the
Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three
dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social
inclusion and environmental protection. The Encyclopedia of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in
an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each one devoted to
one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 9, namely "Build
resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable
industrialization and foster innovation" and contains the
description of a range of terms, to allow a better understanding
and foster knowledge about it. This book presents a set of papers
on the state of the art of knowledge and practices about three
important aspects of sustainable development, infrastructure,
industrialization and innovation. It focuses on the support of
cleaner technologies, enhanced scientific research, domestic
technology development and universal internet access. Concretely,
the defined targets are: Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and
resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder
infrastructure, to support economic development and human
well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all
