Preface
In this book, advances in architecture, engineering, and technology have been covered through
studies concerning both architecture and urbanization as well as the trends in information and
communications technology and innovative digital technologies with systems integration into
the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. The book provides various
examples linking studies from building level to urban level involving the social, cultural,
environmental, and economic conditions. It aims to improve our understanding of the
advances and the challenges in different contexts and contribute to enhancing sustainability in
the built environment. Chapters in this book illuminate the experiences of different localities
facing current challenges due to their specific characteristics in geographic, historical legacies,
environmental, economic, social, and cultural conditions. Sharing local interventions and
responses to global issues such as climate change, urbanization, and pollution will support the
development of a connected global–regional–local understanding of sustainable design of the
built environment. This book is divided into three parts.
The first part addresses questions of “Architectural and Urban Studies”, which contains
seven chapters. Chapters “Integrated Design Concept for Identifiable Commercial Heritage
Tourism in Tunjungan District of Surabaya City”–“Assessing the Environmental Aspects of
Road Network Resiliency” present different approaches to architectural and urban design
through a series of local case studies.
Chapter “Integrated Design Concept for Identifiable Commercial Heritage Tourism in
Tunjungan District of Surabaya City” explores the concept of integrated design for identifiable
