Human-centered intelligent construction for sustainable cities

Automatic technologies are a developing trend in the construction industry and have emerged by leveraging intelligent technologies. In automated construction, a human-centered approach to construction management is crucial as it improves productivity, safety, and sustainability by focusing on the needs of construction workers and building occupants. Therefore, focusing on sustainable construction, this paper explores technologies used in human-centered intelligent construction management (iCM) across building life cycle phases. Also, a new construction paradigm through a comprehensive review and outlines future research directions for human-centered iCM is introduced. It aims to provide practical and sustainable management solutions by integrating human centered approaches in intelligent and automated construction technologies, offering valuable insights and guidance for practitioners and researchers. This paper highlights the importance of adopting a human-centered approach to meet the evolving challenges and demands of the iCM, along with the role of automation technologies in achieving these goals.
