With limited land, high urban density, and strong climate commitments, the built environment has a major part to play in reducing environmental impact while supporting long-term urban development. As a result, sustainability is no longer just a consideration at the design stage. It now influences the way buildings are planned and maintained, including the standards applied to materials and systems used throughout a project. This growing emphasis on greener development has also led to stronger government support, clearer certification frameworks, and wider...
