Abstract

The International Symposium on Sustainable Urban Development (ISoSUD) is a series of international activities organized by the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Technology, Universitas Trisakti, Jakarta. The event is held once every 3 (three) years with themes related to current issues regarding sustainable urban development, in particular related to urban environmental management and environmental technologies. The activity aims to facilitate academics to publish their research results in order to enhance their scientific expertise as researchers.The 6th ISoSUD in 2023 carried the theme “From Recovery To Resilience: Building A Sustainable Future For A Better Life” which means this symposium will focus on how we can recover from the difficult times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and build a better future and sustainable. This theme also shows the importance of building resilience in facing future challenges, whether related to climate change, economic policies, or other social problems.The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the world in the last four years has had a significant impact on human health, the global economy, and the daily lives of people around the world. It will take the concerted efforts of all countries and peoples to overcome this pandemic and rebuild the world after it. This pandemic underscores the need for global efforts to strengthen health systems, enhance societal resilience, strengthen international cooperation, and accelerate action to achieve sustainable development goals and combat climate change. This crisis provides an opportunity to make significant changes in the way we view and manage our economic and social activities and to create a world that is more sustainable and fairer for all people and our planet. Now is the time to make a difference, to make a profound systemic shift towards a more sustainable economy for the benefit of our people and our planet. In other words, now is the right time to undertake significant transformations in existing economic and social systems, which can help sustainably achieve the SDGs and fight climate change to ensure a better future for people and our planet. Overall, post-pandemic recovery must be based on the principles of sustainable development contained in the SDGs. By integrating the SDG goals into our recovery policies and actions, we can create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future for our people and the world.The 6th ISoSUD was held in the hybrid conference:a.
