Sustainability in the Built Environment in the 21st Century: Lessons Learned from India and the Region, 1st ed. 2021 Environmental Science and Engineering Series
This book follows on previous works addressing sustainable development research in the Asia-Pacific region. It mainly focuses on India, a country currently facing immense challenges in the form of climate change, rapid urbanisation, and population pressures in its journey to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Expecting to surpass China in terms of population in the near future, India needs to develop its own solutions in order to uphold its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
This book makes a contribution in that direction by presenting case studies on various aspects of the built environment, from education to managing cities, procurement, and considerations for a circular economy. The papers gathered here offer a vital resource for government policymakers, educators, and current and future professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and expertise they need in order to overcome today?s complex challenges in the built environment.
Provides the practical solutions needed in order to support decision-making, since theoretical approaches to solving our built environment problems are not enough
Presents solutions that address the complex challenges facing India and similar developing country-specific contexts
Defines formal and informal education needs to support the journey to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
