FUTURE CITIES. TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE VERTICAL URBANISM
The survival of humanity on this planet relies on a radical repositioning of
our cities. In the face of unprecedented global population growth,
urbanization, pollution increase and climate change, it is no longer
enough to simply create buildings that minimize their environmental
footprint. The reduction of operating and embodied energy consumption in
every single building is, of course, vitally important – but even this
is likely not enough to mitigate the huge issues at stake. We need to
start considering how every building can start working with others in a harmonious urban whole –
by maximizing urban/building infrastructure, sharing resources,
generating and storing energy, and looking for completely new ways to
improve the building’s contribution to the city; physically,
environmentally, culturally, and socially.

FUTURE INTELLIGENT CITIES. Cities in transition-Realising the value of engineering
Future Intelligent City initiatives are already making a contribution to solving some of the world’s most challenging engineering problems stemming from rapid urbanisation, high energy demand, and increasing/ageing populations, to ensure both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
Whether you call them Smart Cities, Future Cities, Intelligent Cities or Future Intelligent Cities the aim is the same; to optimise the use of new information and communication advances to improve life in urban environments.

PLEA 2014 Sustainable Habitat for Developing Societies
The local theme of this international conference speaks to the urgent need to reduce energy use in new and existing buildings in cities that are witnessing rapid growth and urbanization. Energy consumption in the building sector is more than one-third of the national energy use in India, and with further growth in this sector, India faces a formidable challenge in reducing its dependence on fossil fuels, natural resources and energy supply infrastructure. Buildings and cities in other emerging economies are also being challenged by such context.
