In the 10th edition of its international conference titled “Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development (UPADSD),” IEREK plans to continue the conversation that ties urban planning and architectural design to reach the common goal of sustainable development. The conference will discuss topics such as strategic urban planning, which requires setting ambitious goals and determining desired areas of city growth, as well as sustainable architecture and development. On the topic of sustainable architecture, the idea of its synonymous term green or environmental architecture will be discussed, as green architecture in itself is a challenge for every architect. Green architecture’s main goal is producing smart designs and using available technologies, ensuring that these produced structures emit minimal harm to both the ecosystem and the community. The end goal of green architecture is to fulfill the civilians’ current demands without risking the capacity of future generations to fulfill their own needs and that summarizes the purpose of urban planning.
