Dear all,
We are pleased to invite you to the conference “AI for Circular Cities: Digital Innovation for a Sustainable Built Environment,” taking place on Friday, 28 November 2025, from 14:00 to 17:00 at Room 1.325 (Senate Hall), ISSAI Department, Block 1, Nazarbayev University.
Organized by ISSAI in collaboration with the ACI Student Chapter, this event will explore how digital innovation and circular thinking are reshaping the future of the built environment—where AI meets sustainability to create smarter, greener cities.
About the Conference
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we understand, measure, and advance circularity in cities and construction. The conference will examine how AI-powered tools, big data analytics, and circular city indexing (CCI) can support sustainable construction practices, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen urban resilience
This event brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss the role of AI in:
• material flow optimization
• lifecycle performance assessment
• intelligent construction management
• digitalization of the built environment
• circular city performance measurement
• data-informed sustainability policy
The conference will also highlight how AI-driven indicators of urban circularity can guide cities toward greener, more resilient, and more efficient development pathways.
Themes and Discussion Topics:
– AI for Circular Construction: Machine learning for material efficiency and waste reduction
– Circular City Indexing (CCI): Indicators and frameworks for assessing urban circularity
– Digitalization and Big Data: Sensor networks, geospatial analytics, predictive modeling
– Policy and Practice Interface: Turning AI insights into actionable sustainability strategies
– Future Skills and Research Directions: Preparing professionals for AI-enabled transformations
For full details of the program, including information about the speakers, session topics, and locations, please visit the official webpage.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event!
