Abstract
This chapter explores emerging trends for addressing unsustainable practices in the construction process through the use of modern approaches to technology, regulations, and management. It offers an assessment of how digital technology, development and promotion of sustainable materials, and emphasis on the circular economy of industry practices limits (or seeks to mitigate) environmental and socio-economic impacts of the built environment. The role of regulations, government policies, international sustainability standards, and the capacity of all construction stakeholders to adopt sustainable practices are critically assessed. After identifying pathways toward action and key constraints to sustainable change, this research provides direction on how the construction sector address the opportunities and challenges of global sustainability in association with “smart” development and industry projects characterized by resilient practices that are more efficient and ecologically sound.
