Sustainable Urbanism Envisioniing New Agents For Planniing And Desigining Sustainable Spaces

Sustainable urbanism studies cities, their parts and urbanisation practices to promote their long-term viability and liveability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people, places, and environment, and to enhance the physical, ecological, economic, social well-being, health, and equity of people, places and environment. It turns into practice through planning, design and engineering, while at the same time, caring about the sustaina-bility of natural environment and ecosystems, and social, economic and cultural aspects of urbanism. Additionally, sustainable urba-nism is related to the process of constructing sustainable buildings and developing the planning and design strategies for smart urban growth management. Within this perspective, Sustainable Urba-nism: Envisioning New Agents for Planning and Designing Sus-tainable Spaces aims to investigate how sustainability of urban and rural spaces can be attained with multi-scalar, multi-dimensional and multi-stakeholders viewpoints. Also, it seeks to explore new ways of living and developing.
