As cities continue to grow, the challenges become more complex and ever-evolving. The ongoing stressors and hazards that threaten urban regions can lead to social breakdown, economic hardship, and physical collapse.
Cities are the beating heart of our world it's crucial to consider the challenges they face in creating resilient and sustainable urban environments. Cities and infrastructure must become more resilient and sustainable than ever before, adapting to the challenges posed by climate change, natural disasters, and resource depletion.
The threats posed by climate change, lack of natural resources, and ongoing stressors require that cities and their infrastructure become more adaptive and resilient than ever before.
The urgent need for a multi-paradigm resilient approach to design and urbanization is what drives us to organize the 6th edition of the International Conference on "Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU)".
The 6th edition of the International Conference on "Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU)" will explore these topics and more, bringing together researchers and architects to discuss how to incorporate resilience into architecture, city, urban, and community design.
Join us to discover effective resilience and sustainability techniques that can improve the resilience of architecture, cities, urban areas, and communities and get the chance to publish your research paper in the Scopus-indexed book series.
Conference Scope
The 6th edition of the International Conference on "Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU)" continues the legacy of promoting resilience and sustainability in architecture and urban design.
The conference will bring together researchers and architects to explore the latest techniques and strategies for promoting resilience at various scales - from building to community to ecology. It will address the challenges of designing and constructing robust infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters, climate change, and other destructive factors. Sustainable methods and practices will be a key focus, with discussions on the use of renewable energy sources and net-zero energy design.
Statement of Purpose
The conference seeks to provide a platform for researchers and scholars to present their findings, increase awareness of the importance of resiliency in architecture and urbanism, and promote healthy discourse on the subject. Our goal is to facilitate a discussion on the latest techniques and strategies for promoting resiliency at various scales, including building, urban, community, and ecological. We aim to ensure the continuation of human existence on a habitable planet by promoting sustainable methods and practices, including the use of renewable energy sources and net-zero energy design. Join us at the 6th edition of RRAU and showcase your work on improving urban resilience.

About ASTI
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).
About Built Heritage Journal
Built Heritage aims to enhance pluralism and criticism in debates on heritage conservation and revitalization with a globalized perspective. The conceptual basis of this refereed journal lies on the fundamental cultural differences concerning built heritage conservation, recognizing these differences as a source for creativity and a motivation for cutting-edge experimentation. It fosters scientific exchange between Chinese and international scholars and practitioners, offering a platform to record the latest developments in the field. Encouraging international authorship and evaluation, it allows for the homologation of research and practice with regards to cultural diversity.
Built Heritage promotes the awareness for built heritage conservation in China and internationally, inviting scholars to reflect on current hot topics discussions as: the role of contemporary architecture in historic environments; the balance between conservation and development; new tools of heritage management; policy, culture and identity; energy consumption and sustainability.

ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a global, not-for-profit organization that aims to provide unique identifiers for authors, researchers, and scholars. ORCiD effectively eliminates duplication and errors regarding author names, affiliations, previous works, and all related academic data.
IEREK is a proud member of ORCiD, and we contribute directly to their initiative of clear and identifiable markers for researchers and scholars. As the first Egyptian partner to ORCiD in the organization’s history, we strongly believe that by utilizing ORCiD’s database and verification services, we become one step closer to achieving an accurate, and identifiable academic landscape.
We encourage our authors to input their ORCiD ID when registering for one of our conferences, submitting an abstract, or a full paper. By doing so, you directly link your research to your identity and affiliation and can showcase your various academic efforts all in one place. By Registering your ORCiD ID, you also increase your works’ visibility and provide easy access to your entire library of research and academic activity.
