Environmentally-friendly architecture & design; Sustainability; Building construction & materials

The construction and architecture industry plays a critical role in advancing global efforts toward sustainability, resilience, and climate change mitigation. As one of the most resource-intensive sectors, it must rapidly adopt circular economy principles and green technologies to reduce its environmental footprint. With growing urbanization, aging infrastructure, and increased energy demand, the push for energy-efficient, decarbonized built environments is more urgent than ever. Transforming the built environment is essential not only for reducing emissions but also for ensuring long-term economic viability and social well-being. This transition supports broader global objectives for clean energy, equitable resource use, and sustainable development. Mitigating Unsustainable Practices in Construction and Architecture explores research and concrete actions that can be widely implemented in the built environment for more sustainable construction. It addresses global policies and regulations aimed at supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies for clean and sustainable construction and architecture. Covering topics such as adaptive behavior, machine learning, and urban development, this book is an excellent resource for architects, engineers, urban planners, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and more.
