Urban Engineering Symposium 2025

This session focuses on advancing sustainable urban development by integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into urban planning. These frameworks promote ethical decision-making, environmental protection, and long-term societal well-being. The discussion highlights strategies for aligning urban projects with global sustainability goals through insights shared by industry leaders. A central theme is the challenge of balancing rapid economic growth with the preservation of natural ecosystems. Innovative approaches, cutting-edge policies, and global case studies demonstrate how urban expansion can coexist with environmental stewardship. The concept of the sustainable city is explored through the use of green technologies, renewable energy, and efficient urban designs aimed at minimizing environmental impact. The session also covers the importance of urban renewal, emphasizing legislative tools like the Urban Renewal Act in revitalizing aging infrastructure and declining urban areas. Experts will share examples of successful initiatives and their benefits to communities and local economies.
