Call for Papers: SPACE International Conference 2024 on Sustainable Architecture Planning and Urban Design

2024-01-18

The 7th SPACE International Conference on Sustainable Architecture, Planning, and Urban Design invites scholars, researchers, and practitioners to contribute to scholarly discourse under the theme, “Metamorphosis of the Urban Fabric: Crafting Sustainable Futures in the Aftermath of Climate Disturbances.”

In contemplating the conference theme, “Metamorphosis of the Urban Fabric: Crafting Sustainable Futures,” a scholarly imperative emerges as we confront the escalating challenges wrought by climate disturbances on urban environments. This academic pursuit is grounded in recognising the urgent need to comprehensively understand, analyse, and respond to the multifaceted impacts of climate disturbances. The crafting of sustainable futures in the aftermath of these disturbances assumes paramount importance, demanding deliberate and strategic interventions to reshape urban landscapes. The academic discourse surrounding this theme delves into the intricate interplay between climatic challenges and the transformative processes shaping the urban fabric. The urgency of this endeavour lies not merely in adaptation but in actively contributing to the development of resilient, innovative, and socio-environmentally responsive urban designs. Through interdisciplinary scrutiny, the conference aims to unravel the complex dynamics governing the evolution of urban spaces, offering a platform for critical dialogue on the imperative task of crafting sustainable futures in the wake of climate disturbances.

SPACE Studies of Planning and Architecture invites researchers, policymakers and social partners to share their knowledge from their fields of expertise according to the topics (but not limited to) of the Conference.
