Sustainable Construction, Development and Management in the Built Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past two decades, the sustainable movement has penetrated most areas of our society, including the building and construction industry. As a promising research area, sustainable construction has attracted considerable attention from the academia worldwide and has generated a vast body of knowledge. The primary objective of this Special Issue of Sustainability is to solicit original theoretical, methodological, and empirical research papers focusing on sustainable construction, with specific topics that can be, but not limited to sustainable development, sustainable construction management, sustainable construction finance, maintenance of sustainable buildings, innovation in sustainable construction, and policy and legislation of sustainable development. In addition, review and opinion papers that summarize the state-of-the-art, research gaps and the further directions of the sustainable construction are also welcome.
