Enhancing sustainable development practices in the Malaysian construction industry: sustainable built environment, sustainable project management, and sustainable construction / Hasmawiah Mad Kaidi ... [et al.]

Despite efforts to promote the adoption of Sustainable Development (SD) concepts in Malaysian construction projects, an often-overlooked element is the potential misinterpretation of Sustainable Built Environment (SBE), Sustainable Project Management (SPM), and Sustainable Construction (SC) and the...
