Joint International Conference on the Smart & Sustainable Built Environment
Theme: Smart Cities, Digital Infrastructure, and Digital Twins
XDelft Β· TU Delft
Delft, The Netherlands
For the first time, three leading international events unite in Delft to address the most pressing challenges at the intersection of sustainability, digital innovation, and the built environment. Held together at XDelft on the TU Delft campus from 23β25 June 2027, the joint conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders for three days of knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.
The programme spans green buildings and circular construction, digital twins and building information modelling, IoT and AI-driven design, and resilient urban infrastructure. Accepted papers undergo rigorous peer review and are published in indexed proceedings, with selected contributions invited to special journal issues.
Whether you are presenting research, exploring the latest technologies, or building new collaborations, the joint conference offers a unique platform to shape the future of a smarter, more sustainable built environment.
