of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and the country’s second largest city, İstanbul
being the largest. The city of Ankara city a population of 5.150.072 as of 2014.
Centrally located in Anatolia, the city is an important commercial and industrial
centreofattraction.
Against the background explained, the “3rd International Sustainable Buildings
Symposium—ISBS2017”washeldon15–17thMarch2017farawayfromAnkara,
in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Dubai is the most populous city in
the UAE. It is located on thesoutheast coast of theArabian Gulfand is one ofthe
seven emirates that make up the country. Dubai has emerged as a global city and
businesshuboftheMiddleEast.Itisalsoamajortransporthubforpassengersand
cargo. Dubai is a beautiful city and a major tourist destination. It is famous for
sightseeing attractions such as the Burj Khalifa (the world’s tallest building) and
shopping malls that come complete with mammoth aquariums and indoor ski
slopes.Moreover,thecityhasmanyculturalhighlightsaswellasalltheglamorous

Organizing ISBS 2017 aimed at bringing together researchers and experts from
both UAE, Turkey and the rest of the world in dialogue with researchers and
authoritiesofimplementingandconsultingfirmsandinstitutions.Researcherswith
significant reputation on an international scale were invited to the symposium as
keynote speakers. In this context, the symposium facilitated researchers, academic
institutions, municipalities, government bodies, non-governmental organizations,

environmental technologies, to discuss the current issues in construction and
environmental technology areas. In addition, both national and international
companies found the opportunity to introduce their products and services. The
effectiveinteractionbetweenlocalandforeignexperts,authoritiesfromprivateand
government agencies, as well as between key players in academic, research and
administrative circles in higher education institutions, is a pre-requisite to the
holistic achievement of the aspirations of the ISBS series of conference on
sustainable buildings.
The conference proceedings are split into two separate volumes: Volume 1
(ISBN978-3-319-63708-2)containsthesections“SustainableBuildingsandSmart
Cities” and “Sustainable Planning—Infrastructure and Resilience”, and Volume 2
(the current book) contains the sections “Energy and Environment—Emerging
Climate Change and Impact on the Built Environment”, “Environmental Policies
and Practices” and “Strengthening and Rehabilitation of Structures”.
