Examines some of the misconceptions that have arisen on the subject of sustainability, and considers some of the ways in which construction can help to put the idea of sustainability into practice. Emphasises that this involves not only assessing the environmental impact of construction methods, and the economic and sociological effects of the development, but also related issues such as transport, waste, and health and safety.
