Architecture was born from the creation of physical environment for people to live in and within; eventually grows to be part of human culture and the setting of humanity. Architecture represent a society and civilisation though its built forms that make up the fabric of a place.
Inclusivity is a must in a modern city design, thus it needs to cater for the needs of everyone. There are various challenges faced by emerging economies and growing cities with the conflicts between preserving culture and heritage, and building for density and sustainable growth; maintaining equity and ecology, and tangible economic return.
Through UIA 2024 International Forum Kuala Lumpur (UIA2024KL), UIA is inviting scholars, researchers, academia, practitioners and policy makers to submit papers to be presented at UIA2024KL to invigorate and discuss the future direction for humanity and sustainable growth.
