This multidisciplinary book focuses on best practices in
sustainability research in the Asia-Pacific Region. Drawing links
between research, practice, education for sustainability and the
needs of industry, it addresses the sustainable development goals
(SDGs). The book also presents research undertaken by a wide range
of universities on matters related to sustainable development, in
order to promote research in this area across multiple disciplines.
Four key themes are explored: (1) Education for Sustainability. (2)
Sustainable Cities. (3) Sustainable Buildings. (4) Sustainable
Infrastructure. This unique book documents and disseminates the
wealth of know-how on sustainable development research in the
Asia-Pacific Region today. It presents lessons learned and
comparative case studies from various countries, including India,
China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, New Zealand and
Australia.
This book follows on previous works addressing sustainable
development research in the Asia-Pacific region. It mainly focuses
on India, a country currently facing immense challenges in the form
of climate change, rapid urbanisation, and population pressures in
its journey to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Expecting to surpass China in terms of population in the near
future, India needs to develop its own solutions in order to uphold
its commitments under the Paris Agreement. This book makes a
contribution in that direction by presenting case studies on
various aspects of the built environment, from education to
managing cities, procurement, and considerations for a circular
economy. The papers gathered here offer a vital resource for
government policymakers, educators, and current and future
professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and expertise they
need in order to overcome today's complex challenges in the built
environment.
