INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE | Sustainability and Morphology of Built Environment (SMBE2025)

12-13 April 2025

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Urbanisation in the context of rapidly changing ICTs, inflation, pollution, and land politics has posed a number of socio-cultural, environmental and economic challenges, and also opportunities, regarding human population changes, social inequality, cultural conflict, migration, job security, deforestation, land-use changes, disasters, environmental degradation, ecological conservation, affordability, standard of living, etc.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in the 2030 agenda consist of 17 SDGs which target poverty eradication, pollution control, increasing sustainability, ensuring access to clean air, energy and water, sanitation and hygiene, gender equality, etc. For this, urgent interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts are needed from all stakeholders, in terms of research and development, sustainable development policies and infrastructure development.

The conference on ‘Sustainability and Morphology of the Built Environment’ is a platform for the academicians, researchers and young professional working in the fields related to Sustainability and Built Environment. It will act as catalyst for active discourse among various stakeholders, with the goal of generating practical recommendations for policymakers. Building capacities on best practises in architecture, planning, alternative solutions, sustainable and clean energy, pollution control and management, ecosystem restoration, affordable and sustainable spatial planning techniques would be some of the areas to be focussed upon. The conference seeks to explore the various models of collaboration, investment, development, design and research, which could exemplify the best practices and innovations in this area.
