Abstract

This comprehensive review paper addresses the contemporary challenges and future trajectories in the domain of sustainable urban infrastructure within civil engineering. The escalating pace of urbanization demands immediate transformative measures, underscoring the joint responsibility of the civil engineering community to construct cities that are not only habitable but also inclusive and environmentally conscious. The document extensively examines critical facets, including green building design, renewable energy integration, sustainable water management, and waste reduction and recycling. The prioritization of research endeavors in these domains is intricately linked to regional needs, environmental complexities, and societal preferences. Throughout the review, there is a consistent emphasis on the indispensable role of sustainable and resilient practices in the development of urban infrastructure, stressing the necessity for innovative solutions to address the intricate interplay of factors influencing urban environments. The concluding remarks underscore the urgency for the civil engineering community to spearhead the implementation of transformative practices, contributing to the evolution of cities that are not only resilient but also pivotal in fostering a sustainable and equitable future.
