Developing Property Sustainably

Sara J. Wilkinson is Associate Professor at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia and a Fellow of RICS. She is widely published in the areas of sustainability, building adaptation and property.

Developing Property Sustainably provides a clear and practical overview of the key issues surrounding the sustainable property development process, providing a critical appraisal of the problems faced by global built environment stakeholders. Despite the continued research and debate on sustainable practices, the property development industry is failing to adequately respond and adopt more rigorous measurement techniques and sustainable approaches. Drawing on both practice and academia, the book provides an overview of sustainable property development from inception to occupation and beyond and will be useful to students of real estate development, property and urban development.
