We are pleased to present the 2024 4th International Conference on Public Art and Human Development (ICPAHD 2024), which took place from December 27–29, 2024, in Chengdu, China (hybrid). This conference sparked dialogue on how public art influences human growth across various societal dimensions.

ICPAHD 2024 brought together a distinguished lineup of speakers who provided invaluable insights into bridging the gap between art, culture, and human development in our rapidly evolving world. Prof. Yao Song from Sichuan University in China shared an enlightening perspective through his speech titled “From Brainwaves to Big Data: Dual Perspectives on Micro and Macro Social Impacts.” His exploration of the intricate links between human cognition and societal change provided a thought-provoking start to our conference.

Assoc. Prof. Goh Yi Sheng, also from Sunway University, offered an impactful exploration of community resilience in her presentation, “Empowering the Elderly: Creative Approach for Disaster Resilience in Urban Floods.” Her dedication to elevating vulnerable populations through creative strategies in disaster readiness sparked critical discussions on inclusivity in urban planning.

The conference additionally featured a variety of engaging elements designed to enrich participant experience, including a series of thematic forums, dynamic panel discussions, and interactive sessions. These thoughtfully organized segments were specifically aimed at fostering deep and meaningful dialogue among the attendees, creating an environment conducive to the exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Through these discussions, participants were provided with extensive opportunities for collaboration, which were instrumental in driving forward the collective goals of the conference.
