The Built Environment in the Context of the New Urban Agenda: An Overview
Zimbabwe is experiencing rapid urbanisation that is potentially unsustainable given the economic, social, environmental and governance context. The built environment sciences and practice can make a contribution to addressing sustainable development challenges through the introduction of innovations in infrastructure, institutions and processes that enhance economic growth and development. The book is aimed at readers from disciplines in spatial planning, architecture, real estate, geography, construction and civil engineering, land surveying, quantity surveying, related sciences, professionals and practitioners. The built environment has received increased prominence because of its potential in steering the New Urban Agenda through emerging discourses, institutions and practices; yet in most of sub-Saharan Africa and Zimbabwe in particular, the concept has not been fully developed. This book brings together scholarship from different disciplines in the built environment and presents sector initiatives such as those relating to curricula, smart technologies and cutting-edge innovations in steering sustainable development. It presents initiatives in various sectors of the built environment that have the potential to boost the competitiveness of cities and ideas on how the disciplines can be shaped for steering the sustainable development agenda. The chapter contributions in this book are outlined and how they contribute to evolving ideas on the built environment.
