Introduction

The principle of Green Urbanism focuses on zero waste, zero emission, recycling, and natural resources. It aims to bring back a clean environment, water sanitation, and a better quality of life. It is a breath of fresh air when it comes to disciplines approaching urbanism, where cities focus on constructing motorways and prioritizing automobiles as a means of transport, Green Urbanism aims to implement a sustainable means of transportation within cities, that focuses on public transit systems, and the inclusion of pedestrians and cyclists on roads.

When mentioning Green Urbanism, Barcelona’s well-renowned superblocks come to mind instantaneously. The cities’ structures are an exemplar of green urbanism application. They promote walking and cycling as a means of transport rather than the use of automobiles, thus eliminating intrusive traffic and the pollution associated with it within the block, while the ingenious design promotes the efficiency of public transit systems, due to the density of people living within the superblocks. Verdure and greenery are commonplace within these superblocks, promoting the well-being of their inhabitants and helping mitigate the effects of climate change.

While Barcelona’s superblocks offer a dream to strive towards, the mirror image of their quest towards a greener future exists mostly in developing cities, whose population growth outpaced their planning efforts. Within these cities, the urban sprawl has taken hold, causing a rise in crime rate, rampant noise & air pollution, automobile reliance, and difficulty in resource & waste management. Often times these cities choose to further expand motorways to ease traffic, rather than transitioning away from reliance on vehicles that use non-renewable sources of energy. This, however, is simply an unsustainable approach, that will cost us our continuation on our planet, and cost the cities’ inhabitants a livable and comfortable life, introducing a slew of health complications.

Following this green quest, IEREK is now organizing the 7th Edition of the International Conference on Green Urbanism. Complementing the previous editions and following their success, this conference will discuss many topics such as the general principles of green urbanism, green infrastructure, improving urban performance, and the transformation to the desired sustainable green environment.

IEREK invites all academics, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to the 7th edition of the GU Conference to discuss and present the current advancements and case studies for sustainable urban planning.

Scope

The 7th “Green Urbanism (GU)” conference brings about a healthy discourse on topics pertaining to the concept of green urbanism, environmental resilience, and the implementation of sustainable urban planning techniques. GU covers topics depicting contemporary innovations in waste management, sustainable energy resources, urbanization of rural areas, and green urban transit. The conference peers further into the concept of Green Urbanism, discussing environmental conscious design on a building scale by utilizing climate-responsive architecture and regenerative design, and on a logistical scale by deliberating upon transit hubs, supply chains, and freight transport.

Statement of Purpose

The planet is rapidly changing due to mankind’s actions, and the devastating effects of climate change are only beginning and will worsen unless we act. The way mankind interacts with nature and the environment has proven to be unsustainable, and the destination from which the path we are on leads is unfavorable, to say the least. GU aims to echo the voice of science and reason, that scientists and environmentalists have been championing for decades, calling for action, and a shift towards sustainable method implementation in multiple aspects of life. The GU conference thus looks to increase awareness about the effects of climate change, and publicize contemporary discoveries in the mitigation of its destructive effects in urban areas.

Step 3: Rigorous Peer Review Process (double-blind)

This process can only be initiated after payment completion and confirmation:

If submitted, the extension (short paper) will be preliminarily checked (iThenticate plagiarism/ similarity screening Software, readability, and scope) and it will be peer-reviewed. If similarity issues are detected, the following will apply:
- % from all sources: 10-15%
- % from one source: 3-5%
- Higher than 30% (all sources): Reject completely
- Lower than 30% (all sources): Ask for revision to decrease the similarities
IEREK has an unyielding policy regarding plagiarism. We believe that copying/ taking the ideas and work of other Authors without permission and credit is fraudulent. The Reviewing committee and IEREK employees have the authority to reject a paper during its reviewing process, on the basis of the paper being subjected to either minor or major plagiarism.
Each paper/ chapter is evaluated by a minimum of two reviewers, after which a final decision by the responsible Editor is made. There is no maximum to the number of times a paper can be reviewed, depending on the quality of the submission.
If your short paper is accepted by the Editors for publishing with comments/ requested modifications, our Editors (publishing department) will contact you once a decision is made and you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission, it will be re-checked. Note: There may be more than one round of peer review and the decision rests with the editors of the title. Missed deadlines may result in complete exclusion/ rejection from the final publication.
If your short paper is accepted for publishing without edits/ comments, the corresponding author will be contacted to provide the final version of their chapters/ papers following Springer Guidelines and sign the Springer consent-to-publish (CTP) form to authorize publication in the conference proceedings.
A back-and-forth process: modifications will be sent back to the responsible Editor/ Series Editor and another round of evaluation conducted where needed. Participants/ Authors should regularly check their emails (Junk/ Spam folders).
If you are not interested in publishing an extended abstract in the proceedings in ASTI by Springer Nature, please inform the conference support ([email protected]).

Step 4: Extended paper

After the conference, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their research, 8 – 12+ pages in length, (optional) of their short papers for publishing in an edited volume to be published by Springer Nature.
Publishing your short paper (i.e., extended abstract) in the conference proceedings does not prevent the submission of the full version for publishing consideration after the conference if the similarity percentages (SR%) in Step 3 are taken into account.
