Produktbeschreibung
Sustainable development has seen considerable progress, to the point where evaluation, measurement and assessment play a signi cant role in what is now termed Sustainability Science. As this trend continues, then increased precision and structure in the capture of knowledge will be required. While the emphasis on environmental sustainability will continue, it is likely that increased focus on the balance between physical occurrences and the behaviour patterns of life will be required, as their interdependencies can and do lead to unintended consequences where these relationships are not understood or thought through. The objective of this book is to stimulate and reinterpret the demands of responsible and sustainable development in the built environment for future action and development. It considers the methods of evaluation, the use of technology, the creation of new models and the role of human factors for examining and developing sustainable development over the next 20 years.
