Abstract

The 2nd International Conference on Civil, Architecture and Pollution Control (ICCAPC 2021) was planned to be held on March 12-14 in Suzhou, China. Due to the impact of COVID-19, many communities from all over the world were under strict health measures and strict travel restrictions, and participants of 2nd International Conference on Civil, Architecture and Pollution Control (ICCAPC 2021) also meet with the difficulty of travel restrictions. For communities, if our conference was not held in a virtual form, it would add huge work on traffic system, Exit-Entry system, medical system, etc., which is quite a serious issue, to actively respond to the call of the government, to strengthen the protection work, to effectively reduce people gathering and prevent COVID-19, considering the situation that most of the authors would like to publish their articles and make academic communications as scheduled, ICCAPC 2021 was held on-line instead of postponing the conference. It was a challenge, not only to the organizers, but also to the participants who were delivering their speeches using videoconference tools, under different time zones.ICCAPC 2021 was hosted by Jilin Jianzhu University. ICCAPC 2021 is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of civil, architecture engineering and pollution control to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in civil engineering, architecture and pollution control. And another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working all around the world. An ideal platform for seeking global partners had been established.The conference brings together about 70 leading researchers, engineers and scientists in the domain of interest from different countries. The conference model was divided into two parts, including keynote presentations and online discussion. In the first part, each keynote speakers were allocated 30 minutes to present their talks via Zoom. After the keynote talks, all participants joined in a WeChat communication group to discuss more about the talks and presentations.
