Sustainability in Urbanism aims to design high-efficiency,energy-saving buildings and environments so as to rationalize the useof natural resources, and adopt strategies of effective use of materials inorder to minimize the negative environmental impacts and greenhouseConference On Technology & Sustainability in the Built Environment
