Susdev Group proudly participated as a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Biophilic Design and Urban Integration, held today in Shanghai. The event gathered global leaders, visionary designers, researchers, and policymakers to address the growing importance of reconnecting urban environments with nature through innovative planning and design.

This high-level conference served as a vibrant platform for dialogue on how cities can adapt to meet the challenges of rapid urbanization while ensuring the mental, physical, and environmental well-being of their inhabitants. Susdev Group’s presentation focused on the essential role of biophilic design in modern cities, a design philosophy that integrates natural elements into built environments to create more livable, sustainable, and human-centered spaces.

During the session, Susdev Group shared insights from its current projects, highlighting how green infrastructure, natural light, water features, and biodiversity can be strategically woven into urban landscapes to not only reduce environmental impacts but also improve public health and community cohesion. The group emphasized how such design strategies can enhance urban microclimates, reduce stress levels, and build resilient ecosystems within the city fabric.

“This conference marks an important moment for us,” said a representative from Susdev Group. “It’s a powerful opportunity to exchange ideas with global experts, gain inspiration from pioneering projects around the world, and reaffirm our dedication to designing cities that are not just functional, but also nurturing and inspiring.”

In addition to presenting, Susdev Group engaged in a series of workshops and networking sessions with fellow professionals, further expanding its global partnerships and learning from diverse case studies and best practices.

The event underscored a growing global consensus: cities of the future must go beyond traditional planning to embrace biophilic principles that put nature and people at the heart of urban development. For Susdev Group, the conference not only celebrated progress but also reinforced its ongoing mission to lead transformative change in sustainable urbanism.
