Sustainable infrastructure refers to the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure (such as buildings, transportation systems, and energy facilities) in a way that minimizes environmental impact, conserves resources, and promotes social equity. This field of research focuses on developing solutions that contribute to long-term economic growth, social well-being, and environmental sustainability. Sustainable infrastructure aims to address challenges related to climate change, population growth, resource depletion, and urbanization, by integrating principles of sustainability into the planning and development of infrastructure projects. This includes using renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting energy efficiency, and incorporating green building practices. Overall, sustainable infrastructure research seeks to create resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly infrastructure systems that can meet the needs of present and future generations.
