In order to prevent the high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in cities like those referred to as metropolises, from causing a climate crisis while they build and develop day by day, each architect and urban planner needs to be conscious about sustainable urban development. While planning sustainable cities, it is impossible to build without considering the environmental conditions and the impact of these conditions on our future. For this reason, beyond urban planning, it is necessary to create accessible streets and public spaces for everyone, no matter how tall the buildings are. Even if we are moving away from the human scale, cities need to be planned in a way that interacts with their environment and meets the needs of all their residents. In this article, we will see the CTBUH 2025 which brings together conferences on sustainable environment and urbanization every year.
