Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Since industrialization began, rapid urbanization started
across the globe. Construction picked up to accommodate
the growing population in the city, but the cost of
development was borne by the environment and the cities
were gradually rendered into polluted dungeons. But, do we
blame the development, stop the growth, or we decide what
is required to be implemented to make our surroundings
livable and sustainable?
It was only in the late 20th century that the awareness of the
impact of technology and expanding human population on
earth increased and few of us started identifying the issues
which could be addressed in times to come. People began
expanding their efforts to reduce their environment impact
and buildings started to be recognized as major contributors
to the world’s energy usage, landfill waste and diminishing
green space. The speed of development remained higher than
the effort still, causing major environmental concerns.
