Introduction

The proposed International Conference “Sustainable Built Environment Leading to Viksit Bharat” aims to foster cross-sectoral collaboration to drive sustainable development in India’s built environment. By bringing together national and international experts from various fields such as management, economics, engineering, architecture, urban planning, policymaking, and technology, the event will serve as a dynamic platform to address sustainability challenges and opportunities across urban and rural landscapes at both national and global levels.

The conference highlights the collaboration of academic institutions, policymakers, industry, and social organizations—the pillars facilitating societal growth (Vikas). It will explore innovative strategies, policies, and technologies that drive India’s transformation into a Viksit Bharat (Developed India). This aligns with the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and supports India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), contributing to the country’s ambition of achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2070.

Emphasizing the interconnectedness of the built environment, technology, and policymaking, the event seeks to align the efforts of academia, industry, the social sector, and government toward these goals. In addition to expert presentations and panel discussions, the event will feature competitions encouraging students to design sustainable products, systems, branding collaterals, and posters. The best papers in each category will also be recognized and felicitated. These competitions aim to inspire creative solutions to India’s sustainability challenges.
