Despite the continued research and debate on sustainable
practices in the built environment, the property development
industry is failing to adequately respond and adopt more rigorous
measurement techniques and sustainable approaches. The tendency to
either ignore or accept without question perpetuates poor decision
making and undermines the credibility of the industry.
This book provides readers with a framework to evaluate the
merits, or otherwise, of key issues involved in profiting from
sustainable property development. "Developing Property Sustainably
"pulls together the current received wisdom and knowledge relating
to sustainable commercial property development with original
research by the authors to 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.
The book presents a logical chapter structure appropriate for
use on undergraduate and postgraduate modules and courses in real
estate development, property and urban development as well as a
number of built environment programmes. Part 1 examines the
dimensions of developing property in the context of sustainability.
Part 2 covers the evaluation of, commitment to, and the
sustainability of property development. Part 3 describes the
planning, construction and procurement stages of development,
whilst part 4 looks at the occupation of, retrofit of, and
lifecycle sustainability in property development.
Throughout the text illustrative case studies are used to
demonstrate how sustainable property development theory is applied
in practice around the world. Comments, from leading practitioners
and experts, useful pedagogical features and a companion website
combine to provide the reader with a holistic understanding of all
the issues involved in the delivery of sustainable property
development from inception to occupation and beyond.
