Over half of all people on the planet now reside in\u00a0cities, a number that is steadily rising. Most of the time, cities have struggled to properly adjust to the\u00a0influx\u00a0of new citizens. Among the effects are\u00a0urban sprawl,\u00a0pollution, and\u00a0inadequate mobility. The necessity to create new cities with an emphasis on\u00a0sustainability\u00a0and\u00a0environmental well-being, as well as to shift existing cities from dispersion to consolidation, gave rise to\u00a0green urbanism. The realization that\u00a0urbanization\u00a0is a major contributor to\u00a0carbon emissions,\u00a0resource depletion, and\u00a0environmental deterioration\u00a0has an impact on the rise of green urbanism.<\/p>\n
Green urbanism is a method of sustainable urban planning that produces\u00a0environmentally friendly\u00a0communities by reducing\u00a0emissions\u00a0and\u00a0waste, encouraging the development of green areas, utilizing\u00a0sustainable building materials, and encouraging the use of\u00a0electrified transportation. The goal of green urbanism is to utilize\u00a0less energy,\u00a0water, and\u00a0materials\u00a0throughout the whole life cycle of a city or district. The goal of green urbanism is to build thriving,\u00a0integrated, and\u00a0cohesive\u00a0communities. This can be done by implementing strategies like\u00a0mixed-use developments\u00a0and\u00a0inexpensive housing, which encourage greater\u00a0social inclusion\u00a0and sustainability and aid in the\u00a0repopulation\u00a0of city centers, regional cuisine, and short supply chains.<\/p>\n
In an attempt to keep the conversation about green urbanism going,\u00a0IEREK\u00a0is organizing its\u00a09th<\/sup>\u00a0international conference titled\u00a0\u201cGreen Urbanism\u201d. Green urbanism was largely influenced by the growing knowledge of\u00a0climate change\u00a0and the necessity for completely new city models and typologies that are expected to develop. The idea of green urbanism highlights how crucial it is to rethink current cities and their\u00a0infrastructure\u00a0in order to make them\u00a0compact,\u00a0multipurpose, and\u00a0polycentric\u00a0with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental friendliness. The adoption of green urbanism ideas has also been fueled by the significance of\u00a0urban greening\u00a0and\u00a0green spaces\u00a0in present and future urban developments.<\/p>\n Conference Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n The 9th<\/sup>\u00a0edition of the “Green Urbanism\u201d conference aims to provide a platform for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from various areas of life to come together and explore the multifaceted dimensions of green urbanism. The conference discusses a number of topics related to sustainable urban development, including\u00a0improved urban governance,\u00a0leadership, and\u00a0best practices,\u00a0urban planning and transport,\u00a0sociocultural features, and social sustainability in business.<\/p>\n Statement of Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n The purpose of the conference is to allow participants to engage in discussions, share innovative ideas, and learn from successful case studies and best practices. The necessity to change cities into sustainable and\u00a0ecologically friendly\u00a0models of human habitation gave importance to the concept of green urbanism and the need to speak about it. Knowledge of the detrimental impacts of urban growth, awareness of climate change, and the necessity of completely new city typologies and models that emphasize sustainability and environmental well-being have been impacted by the idea of green urbanism and that is why the conference seeks to encourage and promote green urbanism more. The “Green Urbanism” conference aims to promote a\u00a0collective commitment\u00a0to sustainable urban practices and to lay the foundation for a\u00a0resilient\u00a0and\u00a0vibrant urban future.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"ierek-the-9th-international-conference-on-green-urbanism","image":false,"all_day":true,"start_date":"2025-11-25 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"25","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-11-27 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"27","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2025-11-25 00:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"25","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-11-27 23:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"27","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"Europe\/London","timezone_abbr":"GMT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"\u00a3","currency_code":"GBP","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/events\/green-urbanism-gu-9th#introduction","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"IHBC Area of competence \u2013 Intervention","slug":"compintervent","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":21,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":494,"filter":"raw","id":21,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/21","collection":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":14921,"author":"6","status":"publish","date":"2025-07-14 17:53:13","date_utc":"2025-07-14 16:53:13","modified":"2025-07-14 17:53:13","modified_utc":"2025-07-14 16:53:13","url":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/?tribe_venue=rome","venue":"Rome","slug":"rome","country":"Italy","website":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/conferences","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Rome","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressCountry":"Italy"},"telephone":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/conferences"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"events2600.live-website.com?id=14921","global_id_lineage":["events2600.live-website.com?id=14921"]},"organizer":[{"id":11714,"author":"4","status":"publish","date":"2023-02-21 18:15:53","date_utc":"2023-02-21 18:15:53","modified":"2023-02-21 18:15:53","modified_utc":"2023-02-21 18:15:53","url":"https:\/\/events2600.live-website.com\/?tribe_organizer=ierek","organizer":"IEREK","slug":"ierek","website":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"IEREK","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.ierek.com\/"},"global_id":"events2600.live-website.com?id=11714","global_id_lineage":["events2600.live-website.com?id=11714"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"IEREK – The 9th International Conference on Green Urbanism","description":"<p>Over half of all people on the planet now reside in\u00a0cities, a number that is steadily rising.
