Urban Catalysts: Design, Planning, and Engineering for Environmental Improvement

By: Altan, Hasim

This book presents an interdisciplinary exploration of sustainable development within the built environment, uniting research across architecture, urban planning, structural engineering, and environmental sciences. It emphasizes the integration of traditional knowledge with modern technologies to create adaptive, resilient, and human-centered design solutions.
The studies compiled in this book highlight innovative approaches in sustainable architecture, heritage conservation, interior and biophilic design, and advanced material technologies. They also examine the transformative role of artificial intelligence and emerging engineering techniques in enhancing construction efficiency, structural performance, and environmental responsibility.
Addressing the global challenges of climate change, urban growth, and resource management, this collection provides forward-thinking strategies and real-world case studies that inspire smarter, greener, and more sustainable communities. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to shaping the future of sustainable architecture and engineering.
