SUDEP ’16 / International Sustainable Development on Economy and Planning Conference will be held in Istanbul, on July 1-2, 2016. The conference is coordinated by DAKAM (Eastern Mediterranean Academic Research Center).

The abstract submission is open now and we invite researchers and practitioners to submit original work for presentation at the conference. As an interdisciplinary perspective is of more importance on development, it is oblivious that economists, architects, engineers, social science specialists, planners, environmentalists and policy makers are to work together to build a sustainable future.

To develop the alternative solutions become significant, day by day. Today, energy saving and eco-friendly building approaches are the most important development factors. Planning has a key role to play in ensuring that these solutions as well as new materials and processes are incorporated in the most efficient manner.
