The digital age reshapes the approaches to sustainable construction and heritage conservation. As urbanization increases and environmental concerns rise, the construction industry faces pressures to reduce its ecological footprint while preserving cultural and historical sites. Digital technologies bridge this gap by enabling more precise planning, efficient resource use, and informed decision-making. These tools enhance the sustainability of new constructions, while also supporting the restoration and reuse of heritage structures. By integrating tradition with innovation, the digital era offers a path to responsible builds that prioritize historical conservation for future generations. Sustainable Construction and Heritage Conservation in the Digital Age explores the integration of digital technology in construction and conservation practices. It examines the use of sustainable strategies for improved urban development, community preservation, and civil engineering. This book covers topics such as digital technology, architecture, and smart infrastructure, and is a useful resource for sociologists, business owners, urban developers, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
