The construction industry is a major source of environmental impacts, given its great material consumption and energy demands. It is also a major contributor to the economic growth of regions, through the provision of useful infrastructure and generation of employment, among other factors. Conventional approaches underlying current building design practices fall short of covering the relevant environmental and social implications derived from inappropriate design, construction, and planning. The development of adequate sustainable design strategies is therefore becoming extremely relevant regarding the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda Goals for Sustainable Development. This book comprises 11 chapters that highlight the actual research trends in the construction sector, aiming to increase the knowledge on sustainable design practices by highlighting the actual practices that explore efficient ways to reduce the environmental consequences related to the construction industry, while promoting social wellbeing and economic development. The chapters collect papers included in the Special Issue “Trends in Sustainable Buildings and Infrastructure” of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.Technology: general issuesbicsscmulti-scale assessmenthierarchical relational modelingcascading impactsadaptive capacityinfrastructure integrated planningroad networkdecentralization optimizationgreen housingneuro decision matrixneuro correlation matrixvideo neuro-advertisingCOPRAS and ViNeRS Methodsmultivariate design and multiple criteria analysisbridgessustainabilitydesignlife cycle assessmentgreenhouse gasenvironmental impactcable-stayed bridgelife-cycle assessmentsustainable constructionlife cycle costingenvironmental externalitiesindicatormulti-criteria decision analysiscivil engineeringbridgelocal spatial planning stagepolicy decision-makingsocial network analysisconvergence analysistext mining analysisbiopolymernumerical simulationmicro-behaviorgreen technologyArchimedean screw turbinegreen energyresilient structuresmega infrastructure projectsoperation and maintenance managementassessment levelindicator systemsustainable developmentLCIALCCASILAGDPgreen buildingpolicy evolutionbibliometric analysistext miningChinaTechnology: general issuesYepes Víctoredt1296141Navarro Martínez Ignacio JedtYepes VíctorothNavarro Martínez Ignacio JothBOOK9910674036103321Trends in Sustainable Buildings and Infrastructure3059259UNINA
