A Discussion on Sustainability in Terms of Building Production and Use for Smart Urbanization

Technological developments and population growth have caused many effects in the construction sector and triggered developments in the construction of cities. Effects such as energy use, construction conditions, building economy draw attention as a war of technology and naturalness within the framework of the concept of sustainability. Constraints such as the need for building production and capacity increase needed by the population, labor and resource use are effective in decision-making. While technology enables the building sector to produce rapidly, it causes negative effects on the balance of nature. Production factors should be evaluated with a holistic approach and systems that can save energy use should be created. In this respect, it is estimated that the "smart city" approach can be an important tool. Thanks to smart city systems in the formation of cities and the use of buildings, planned construction can systematically ensure energy use and conservation. With smart building systems, it is possible to provide ease of management and ease of use with fast and systematic solutions such as maintenance, repair, renewal, construction, reconstruction and transformation that buildings may need. In the solution of the problems in buildings and urban areas, smart urbanization and construction conditions were evaluated together in terms of digitalization, technological developments, and opportunities for the future were discussed by addressing the existing problems, and evaluations were put forward in terms of energy conservation with a focus on sustainability.
