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 offers a comprehensive exploration of Water-oriented Design (WoD) principles and practices in the Asian context, presenting an innovative approach to integrating sustainable water management with urban planning and design. It addresses the pressing challenges of urban water systems in high-density Asian cities, providing practical solutions for enhancing urban resilience, sustainability, and livability.By focusing on the Asian context, the book offers region-specific strategies and case studies that are particularly relevant to rapidly developing urban areas facing water-related challenges. Spanning from theoretical foundations to practical applications, the book covers four key areas: Water for Cities, Water for Nature & Ecology, Water for People, and Water for Comprehensive Urban Solutions. It provides in-depth analyses of successful WoD initiatives, including Sponge Cities in China, ABC Waters in Singapore, and Low Impact Development in the United States, offering valuable lessons for practitioners worldwide.
