ICHSPD 2024: Advancing Sustainable Cities and Communities through Science, Technology, and Innovation
VOLUME 2
NO 3
2024

With the complex problems faced by the world today – disasters, rapid urbanization, international conflict, and urban governance issues among others, the International Conference on Human Settlements Planning and Development (ICHSPD) 2024 provides a venue for actors to collaborate, form partnerships, and respond to global risks most felt among cities and communities.

Moving forward in advancement and sustainability requires a comprehensive approach focused on resiliency and adaptation. Baseline data gathered in the first conference and experiences shared about the pandemic during the second conference paved the way for the third conference to focus on how we can advance through Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI). As we advance sustainability in our cities and communities, STI is seen to make our efforts aimed, accessible, and advanced.

Aimed. Utilizing Science, Technology, and Innovations gives direction to efforts in human settlements planning. Thorough research and careful planning is the foundation of advancing sustainable cities and communities. STIs provide the tools required to ensure these processes of advancement are cohesively aimed.

Accessible. Technology allows the accessibility of data. It is through the review of previous works or experiences, sharing of best practices, and collaboration across borders that advancements in human settlements planning can be made successful.

Advanced. Beyond recounting experiences and responding to present concerns, STIs allow us to proactively address foreseeable issues and come up with advanced solutions. The pursuit for sustainability requires foresight that STIs can provide.


For its 3rd installment, ICHSPD aims to achieve the following:

1. Discuss the vital issues and challenges in human settlements planning and development;

2. Identify solutions, best practices, and opportunities in addressing the sustainability and resiliency of human settlements; and

3. Foster linkages and partnerships among organizations and institutions working towards achieving safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and communities.
