Full Description
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the critical issues surrounding SDGs 9, 11 and 12, delving into the multifaceted challenges and innovative solutions that define these vital fields. Civil engineering plays a pivotal role in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) by providing the foundational infrastructure necessary for sustainable development across various sectors. From designing resilient transportation systems to constructing eco-friendly buildings, civil engineers are at the forefront of creating solutions that promote economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability. One of the primary goals of civil engineering in the context of sustainable development is to ensure access to safe and reliable infrastructure for all, which aligns with SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. This involves designing and constructing roads, bridges, railways, airports, and ports that not only facilitate economic activities but also minimize environmental impact and enhance social inclusivity. For instance, civil engineers are increasingly incorporating green infrastructure techniques such as permeable pavements, green roofs, and rain gardens to manage stormwater runoff, mitigate urban heat island effects, and improve air quality in urban areas, contributing to SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
Moreover, civil engineers play a crucial role in addressing global challenges such as climate change and resource depletion, which are central to several SDGs. By integrating principles of sustainability into their designs and practices, civil engineers contribute to SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. This includes implementing renewable energy systems, and promoting circular economy, sustainable materials and construction techniques, recycled materials, waste to resource techniques, lean construction, etc. to reduce carbon emissions and minimize resource consumption throughout the life cycle of infrastructure projects.
