Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 47th Australasian Universities Building Education Association (AUBEA) Conference, themed "Building for a Sustainable Future: Innovations, Challenges and Collaboration", was hosted by Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia. Held from November 24th to 26th, 2024, within the Built Environment program of the Institute of Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC), the conference brought together researchers, educators, students, and industry practitioners from both Australia and abroad. It focused on sharing knowledge, collaborating, and reflecting on current issues, aiming to shape the future of the construction and built environment sectors.
The conference featured research from across a broad spectrum of topics, highlighting sustainable and innovative approaches within building education and the built environment. The research proceedings were organized around five main themes: sustainable building practices, resilient infrastructure and disaster management, innovative teaching and learning approaches in building education, building regulations versus innovations, and building industry workforce development.
Authors previously selected from AUBEA2024 were invited to submit extended papers for inclusion in this Special Issue, which will undergo a rigorous peer review process for further selection and publication.
