International Workshop
on Integrated Life-Cycle Management of Infrastructures
December 9-11, 2004
The Hong KongUniversity of Science and Technology
Hong Kong, China
Hosted by
Department of Civil Engineering and
Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure Research Centre
The Hong KongUniversity of Science & Technology
Introduction
The many regions in the world are experiencing exploding and rapid growth. In order to improve standards of living without adversely affecting the environment of the region, the implemented solutions must be sustainable.
Recently, there has been an increasing level of awareness about the significance of green built technologies and sustainable development and their integration with infrastructure management. However, thus far, there has been little focused effort to bring the three together in theory and in practice.
The focus of the Workshop will be on the life cycle management/assessment of infrastructures considering green building technologies and sustainable development/solutions. The participants will share their experience and insights on the subject and its socio-economic and environmental impacts. The objective of this Workshop is to achieve the integration of climate, environment, materials and structure in the design of sustainable infrastructures.
