Sustainable Development in the Built Environment

Although much research has been done on sustainable development in the built environment, the understanding of the subject and practice in the area is unfocused and fragmented. There is therefore a clear need for an integrated approach if sustainable development is to be achieved. This book provides an in-depth literature review and synthesis followed by a conceptual framework for academics and policy makers to use to link disparate work and as a basis for practical programmes of activity. It draws on international and UK research and includes case study examples from field work.
