Sustainability as an Urgent Global Issue: Architectural Environment and Landscape
Abstract
In our increasingly interconnected world, sustainability has emerged as a paramount global concern. Both organizations and individuals are recognizing the imperative need for sustainable solutions to safeguard the future of our planet. Achieving sustainability on a global scale necessitates a significant level of collaboration among diverse stakeholders (Calvagna, 2020). Many of the pressing challenges we face, such as climate change, inequality, hunger, and resource scarcity, can only be effectively addressed through structured collaborative efforts involving various entities (Murtagh, Roberts & Hind, 2016). Professionals from various fields are actively engaged in commendable endeavors aimed at advancing sustainable development, fostering economic growth, and maintaining environmental equilibrium. This essay delves into the collaborative endeavors and their outcomes within three projects focused on the architectural environment and landscape. These projects represent significant strides towards the promotion of a sustainable future.
