This work holds the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Urban planning and architectural design for sustainable development, which will be held on October 30-31, 2017 in Lecce, Italy.It has become apparent that planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers, policy makers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that planning and development can meet our present needs without comprising the ability of future generations. Problems related to planning and development, which affect rural and urban areas, are present in all regions of the world. Accelerated urbanization has resulted in deterioration of the environment and loss of quality of life. Urban development can also aggravate problems faced by rural areas such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, amongst many others. Taking into consideration the interaction between different regions and developing new methodologies for monitoring, planning and implementation of novel strategies, can offer solutions mitigating environmental pollution and non-sustainable use of available resources. Energy saving and eco-friendly building approaches have become an important part of modern development, which places special emphasis on resource optimization. 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.

Biographical note

Professor Dean Hawkes is a British architect and award-winning academic. His career combined practice, teaching and research. From 1965 – 1995 he taught and researched at the Department of Architecture at Cambridge University, where he was a founder member and, later, Director of the Martin Centre for Architectural and Urban Studies. He held the Chair of Architectural Design at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University from 1995 – 2002. He has held visiting professorships at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore, the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art, the Department of Architecture, Huddersfield University and the Leicester School of Architecture, De Montfort University. He was in practice with Stephen Greenberg as Greenberg and Hawkes. Projects were widely published and won a number of RIBA Architecture Awards. He has published numerous books and essays on architecture and contributed to many journals, including the Architects’ Journal, and the Architectural Review. Dr. Hocine Bougdah has overall responsibility for the curriculum design, delivery and assessment of the Architectural Technology subject specialism in the school at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. He is also involved in research through the supervision of a number of researchers (currently 6) working on topics aligned with his research interests. His teaching and research interests are focused on the technological, ecological and human aspects of architectural design. His approach to teaching "Technology" is to use it as a design generator/enabler rather than an "add-on" technical resolution to a design proposal. His research interests cover topics such as sustainable design, innovative low tech/low energy/low impact buildings, and spatial experience of users and issues of culture, urbanization and globalization. Alongside his academic role, he runs a design/consultancy practice. Professor Hatem Ibrahim's research specifically focuses on architectural design process and simulation, contemporary urban planning, architectural identity and sustainable design. In addition to his publications in scientific and professional journals and symposiums, Dr. Ibrahim was a keynote speaker, general chair, technical program committee chair and session chair of multiple international conferences. He is a member of a number of international scientific and educational organizations and served in many academic and research institution in the UK, the USA, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. In 2014 Dr. Ibrahim received the "Outstanding Research Project" award by the Qatar National Research Fund for his Undergraduate Research Experience Program funded project "Unifying Qatari Architecture Language and Contemporary Architecture: Case Study of Doha—Qatar". He also received the golden medal and first prize from King Saud University for his academic achievement in 2008.
