This book presents a number of research papers that discuss how green urbanism is connected to promoting healthier living conditions. This is to reduce the impact of environmental changes including climate change, depletion of the earth''s resources, and the emergence of infectious diseases and pandemics on humans. Addressing these challenges, the book at hand offers strategies and solutions that enable designers to bring together knowledge about sustainable and comfortable urban built environments, with an emphasis on the correlation between architecture, engineering, and medical facets in regard to comfort and well-being. Thus, the book is of significant importance to architects interested in the science of the built environment, climate change, and human resilience. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from the first version of the international conference on "Health & Environmental Resilience and Livability in Cities (HERL) - The challenge of climate change" which was held online in 2022 in collaboration with the University of Perugia, Italy, and the fifth edition of the international conference on Green Urbanism (GU) which was held online in 2021 in collaboration with the University of Rome.

This book explores urban environments and their impact on resilience, livability, climate adaptation, health, and societal well-being. It provides interdisciplinary insights for fostering resilient, livable, and sustainable cities prioritizing well-being and quality of life for all residents.

The book investigates the impact of urban refugees on cities and reevaluates scientific theories for human well-being-oriented built environments. It evaluates tourist satisfaction with urban railway systems and explores sport as a tool for healthy and sustainable cities.

With contributions from leading experts, the book covers a wide range of topics including architectural design, urban planning, sustainable materials, and renewable energy technologies. Also, it explores sustainable solutions and innovative practices across a range of disciplines essential for the future of our built environment. It examines architectural design, urban planning, and infrastructure, highlighting approaches that promote resilience and efficiency in urban settings. The book aligns with sustainable development goals, providing practical insights and strategies to achieve global sustainability targets. This book focuses on sustainable methodologies in material sciences, exploring the latest advancements in eco-friendly materials and their applications in construction. The integration of renewable energy technologies is thoroughly examined, showcasing how these innovations can reduce environmental impacts and enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, the book addresses the crucial theme of environmental integration and impacts, presenting comprehensive studies on the intersection of engineering technologies with environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it is an indispensable resource for professionals, researchers, and students dedicated to fostering sustainable development across multiple fields. It offers valuable guidance on implementing sustainable practices to create a healthier and more sustainable world.

This book includes topics that explore diverse and innovative aspects of architectural design, urban planning, infrastructure, and engineering. The "Values Trilogy Design Philosophy" emphasizes the harmonious integration of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and artistic expression in architectural projects. "DIGIT-ACCESS" explores a digital gateway to enhance accessibility to heritage architectures. The influence of biomimicry and biophilia on sustainable urban planning is examined, along with the application of biomimetic approaches in smart city design and traditional architecture in Saudi Arabia''s Asir region. An analytical study investigates zero-energy concepts in high-rise buildings, while another contrasts the thermal performance of various insulation systems in hot-desert climates. The role of interior design in fostering creativity and cultural enrichment in performance arts academies is highlighted, alongside an architectural appraisal of user perceptions toward Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) low-income housing schemes. In the realm of electrical, mechanical engineering, and fabrication, this book covers advanced topics such as reducing peak average power ratio in OFDM systems for cognitive radio, nonlinear buckling analyses of corrugated steel plate shear walls, and accelerated corrosion testing of carbon steel. The mechanical characteristics of sustainable rigid pavement using sintered fly ash aggregate are explored, as well as the impact of fiberglass reinforced concrete on sustainable design. Additional studies include the evaluation of water resistance in glass-modified concrete, the effects of laser treatment on waste poly(aramid) fiber for 3D printed composites, and the polymerization of copperas into polyferric sulfate for leachate treatment. Lastly, a thermogravimetric evaluation and kinetic study of pyrolysis in commercialized timber species in Peru provide insights into sustainable material behavior.
