The two main challenges that future cities will face are the unavailability of material resources and the waste generated as a result of resource consumption. The chapter exhibits applied research into green charcoal that addresses the crisis of the fourth industrial revolution through the development of a biomaterial consisting of luffa, charcoal, and soil. It justifies that building materiality must be intentionally designed to transform over time and support an ecosystem of plants, insects, and birds to create self-sustaining natural habitats for all lifeforms. The approach to building materiality and building systems is performance-based, circular, and net positive, thus representing a departure from conventional architectural practices. It provides a framework for high-growth countries like India to reverse the resource crisis and achieve a competitive advantage over mature economies through such initiatives.

Industrial Revolutions

The rapid pace of technological developments played a key role in the previous industrial revolutions. However, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and its embedded technology diffusion progress is expected to grow exponentially in terms of technical change and socioeconomic impact. Therefore, coping with such transformation require a holistic approach that encompasses innovative and sustainable system solutions and not just technological ones. In this article, we propose a framework that can facilitate the interaction between technological and social innovation to continuously come up with proactive, and hence timely, sustainable strategies. These strategies can leverage economic rewards, enrich society at large, and protect the environment. The new forthcoming opportunities that will be generated through the next industrial wave are gigantic at all levels. However, the readiness for such revolutionary conversion require coupling the forces of technological innovation and social innovation under the sustainability umbrella.
