Urban Infrastructure for a Turbulent and Uncertain Future

This book presents original and peer-reviewed research papers presented in the International Conference on Urban Infrastructure Development (ICUID 2025), held at Bandung, Indonesia from 8th-9th September 2025. The conference is organized by Centre of Excellence in Urban Infrastructure Development (CUID), Universitas Katolik Parahyangan. ICUID 2025 explores the innovative strategies and resilient frameworks necessary for developing future infrastructures. As we navigate an era characterized by rapid changes, unpredictability, and novel challenges, the conference delves into discussions and insights from leading experts and professionals who are at the forefront of shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow. The theme of the conference is "Future Infrastructure under Turbulent-Uncertain-Novel-Ambiguous Era"

Sustainability issues with its three pillars, namely economic, social, and environmental, as an awareness regarding natural resources to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs become increasingly prominent. Today’s infrastructure is not only reliable and efficient but is also required to be more environmentally friendly and acceptable to society. The development of computing technology allows an implementation in smart infrastructure based on data and information to meet the increasing demand of society as their technology literacy improves.

Dynamic changes in infrastructure development pose challenges in the infrastructure delivery system. The business as usual approach is no longer relevant to the current situation, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in early 2020, which had a significant impact on the development of infrastructure; it provides valuable lessons for how future infrastructure that is more resilient must be developed.

The issue on urban infrastructure development is a multidimensional issue that requires multidisciplinary solutions. Actuarial engineering, artificial intelligence, asset management, community development, concurrent engineering, construction digitalization, construction engineering, construction management, decision science, disaster management, financial engineering, green infrastructure, human capital, information management, the Internet of Things, lean construction, legal and regulatory studies, machine learning, mobile computing, neural networks, procurement, project finance, project management, public communication, public-private partnerships, relational governance, risk management, simulation analysis, smart technology, social and economic analysis, social engineering, stakeholder management, sustainable infrastructure and system analysis are several areas of knowledge required to offer innovative and holistic solutions.
