- Book Synopsis
- The proceedings of Sustainable Resilient Built Environments are based on the SRBE 2022 conference held in December 2022. It focuses on the advances under the overarching theme of 'Sustainability'. The concept of 'Sustainability' has been conventionally defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In scientific literature, sustainable development has been analysed using different qualitative approaches, such as economic, social, ecological, cultural, institutional, ethical, and political. In this edited volume, the concepts of both 'sustainability', and 'resilience' are considered to open up useful pathways towards achieving sustainable buildings and infrastructure. Though the concepts of sustainability and resilience are considered to help improve the built environment, the interrelations and interdependence between these two concepts are not clearly evident. This has led to the questions such as: Is thesustainable built environment always resilient? Is the resilient built environment always sustainable? What more is needed for sustainability? In exploring these pertinent questions, the proposed edited volume is expected to unveil and disseminate new insights on the themes related to sustainable and resilient built environment.The themes of the proceedings lay a platform for researchers and professionals to integrate the aspects including smart, innovation, technologies, green, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, sustainability and resilience with regard to buildings and other built infrastructure. Specific objectives included as per the five themes are as follows:Environment Design and SustainabilitySustainable & Smart BuildingsCommunity Resilience & Social SustainabilityHeritage and SustainabilityPandemic issues and sustainable development
