Sustainability and Construction explores various dimensions of sustainability in construction. It commences with a comprehensive discourse on the sustainability concept and its construction context.Next, it examines sustainability across the various phases of a typical construction project from inception, through operationalization, to end-of-life management on one hand, and, on the other, the sustainability of associated processes and domains such as supply chains, logistics, delivery models, and waste management. The narrative is extended through sustainability rating schemes, regenerative built environment, and the context of technology in construction. A strategic organizational viewpoint is presented through an integrated treatment of corporate sustainability, its assessment, reporting, and benchmarking, against the backdrop of the sustainability imperative. Stakeholder perspectives and the "wickedness" of sustainable construction in New Zealand conclude the work. The unique treatment of the overarching themes impacting sustainability in the global construction industry and their intersection with the New Zealand standpoint delivers a well-balanced and thoroughly researched resource. It is a value-added, highly visual text for engineers, students, researchers, policy makers, and industry stakeholders alike. Spotlights the convergence of multiple disciplines in construction, emphasizing the importance of cross-disciplinary perspectives and the need for interdisciplinary implementation. Correlates sustainability with the construction project lifecycle, as well as the wider construction domain, while underscoring the impact of associated operational and strategic processes. Presents case studies highlighting a variety of driving factors and implementation nuances for specific settings, illustrating the wide sectoral expanse and the potential for change. Draws extensively from contemporary and established literature, including government/public documents, consultancy reports, and more. The rich bibliography points to an expandable framework through further exploration.
