Urban Development and Lifestyle

One of the issues of urban development and urban lifestyle, which can be studied from the sea to space, has posed important challenges for humanities, environmental management of cities and urban areas, and the economy. This field is one of the pillars of sustainable development from urban studies towards sustainability welfare. Research and development (R & D) in this part plays a crucial role where urban problems are always alive and increasing every year because of changing customer preferences and needs. City authorities must make appropriate policy choices to protect the provision of equitable housing, health, and transportation services in the future. The megatrends 2030 triggered by the Industrial Revolution 4.0 estimates urbanization will increase sharply, massive move from rural to urban areas, and the land is getting narrower, especially in Asia. New directions and developments in this field and discussion of future priorities must be well anticipated, meticulous, dignified, and innovative. This book highlights the latest views and solutions to technological innovations adapted to achieve prosperity in urban sustainability. For instance, adapting new buildings for urban needs with low-cost and modern design materials, the housing environment and the layout of city space, weather changes to disaster, and smart transportation systems are also taken into account. It also involves electricity, environmental management, and ways to use agricultural land to increase income. The ease of technology produced will change the business model. This contributed volume presents solicit selected papers of the 2020 International Conference on Urban Sustainability, Environment, and Engineering (CUSME 2020) with the theme "Urban Life and Technology". The book covers the point of view in urban architectures with green technology, sustainable environmental, management, agrotechnology, and smart transportation systems. The impact of urban development such as psychological and cultural influences, communication and social complexity, information systems and technology is also discussed with various solutions offered. The outcomes of the conference will certainly support government policy, stakeholders, policymakers, scientists, and engineers by bringing together their latest findings towards achieving a sustainable economy, improved quality of life, and protecting the environment. The findings of this study will create opportunities for further collaboration and are expected to improve the welfare of humanity. The conference committee and all our contributors wish to pleasantly thank for their efforts and cooperation in finalizing this volume. We wish to acknowledge and gratitude Nova Science Publishers Team for supporting our book proposal and for granting the opportunity to publish these conference proceedings and for their cooperation and support.
