Education for sustainable development in the built environment

摘要

The increasing need for sustainability literate graduates by most employers is encouraging the integration of sustainability literacy into built environment programs at all levels of higher education. This need therefore clearly shows the importance of education for sustainable built environment and hence the need for this special issue. The built environment needs individuals and organizations with the relevant sustainability skills, knowledge, capacity, values, and motivation to respond to the negative impact of the sector on the environment. Sustainability literacy should therefore be embedded across the curriculum in higher education to equip graduates with the right sustainability knowledge, skills, and experience for the world of work.
