Description
Developing Property Sustainably introduces readers to the key issues surrounding sustainable property development in the global marketplace. Pulling together received wisdom and original research, the authors provide a clear and practical overview of the sustainable property development process as well as a critical appraisal of the problems faced by global built environment stakeholders. Throughout, the authors demonstrate how the property development industry could and should respond better to debate on sustainable practices in the built environment by adopting more rigorous measurement techniques and sustainable approaches.
Starting by exploring key definitions and stakeholders, the book goes on to explore finance, planning, construction, procurement, occupation, retrofit and lifecycle sustainability in order to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of all the issues involved in the delivery of sustainable property development from inception to occupation and beyond.
Throughout the book, international case studies are used to demonstrate how sustainable property development is applied in practice around the world. With a logical chapter structure and accessible writing style, Developing Property Sustainably would be perfect for use on undergraduate and postgraduate modules and courses in real estate development, property and urban development and other built environment programmes.

Reviews / Votes
This book sets out the key elements of how to develop property sustainably, from the pragmatic perspective that sustainability is a contested and relative concept. Drawing on international case studies, the book offers an excellent insight into how sustainability can be embedded in the lifecycle of property development from feasibility through appraisal and construction, financing, procurement and subsequent, in use operations. Written in accessible and punchy style, the book also offers a critical insight into the plethora of rating and assessment tools for buildings. The authors are well-recognised experts in their field and this book will appeal to a wide range of readers from students through to practitioners.Professor Tim Dixon, Chair in Sustainable Futures in the Built Environment, University of Reading
