Over half of all people on the planet now reside in cities, a number that is steadily rising. Most of the time, cities have struggled to properly adjust to the influx of new citizens. Among the effects are urban sprawl, pollution, and inadequate mobility. The necessity to create new cities with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental well-being, as well as to shift existing cities from dispersion to consolidation, gave rise to green urbanism. The realization that urbanization is a major contributor to carbon emissions, resource depletion, and environmental deterioration has an impact on the rise of green urbanism.

Green urbanism is a method of sustainable urban planning that produces environmentally friendly communities by reducing emissions and waste, encouraging the development of green areas, utilizing sustainable building materials, and encouraging the use of electrified transportation. The goal of green urbanism is to utilize less energy, water, and materials throughout the whole life cycle of a city or district. The goal of green urbanism is to build thriving, integrated, and cohesive communities. This can be done by implementing strategies like mixed-use developments and inexpensive housing, which encourage greater social inclusion and sustainability and aid in the repopulation of city centers, regional cuisine, and short supply chains.

The 9th edition of the "Green Urbanism” conference aims to provide a platform for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from various areas of life to come together and explore the multifaceted dimensions of green urbanism. The conference discusses a number of topics related to sustainable urban development, including improved urban governance, leadership, and best practices, urban planning and transport, sociocultural features, and social sustainability.
