About This Special Issue

In the dynamic landscape of urban development and environmental consciousness, design innovation stands as a catalyst for positive change. This special issue seeks to explore novel approaches that propel sustainable and resilient built environments forward. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and visionary thinking, we aim to shape a future where design not only responds to challenges but actively contributes to a thriving planet.

The significance of this special issue lies in its potential to revolutionize the way we conceptualize, create, and inhabit our built spaces. As architects, designers, and researchers, we have a collective responsibility to address pressing global issues such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social equity. Through innovative design practices, we can harmonize human needs with environmental stewardship.

We invite original research articles, review papers, case studies, and conceptual explorations. Authors are encouraged to share practical insights, propose visionary ideas, and contribute to the discourse on sustainable design.

Through this special issue, we aspire to foster a community of forward-thinking professionals who drive positive change through design innovation. Your contributions will shape the discourse, inspire future research, and influence the trajectory of sustainable built environments.
