Exploring Barriers and Opportunities for Sustainable Construction Practices: A Review

Over the past ten years, there has been a notable increase in the construction of environmentally friendly buildings. Sustainable construction is a major shift in the design, construction, and upkeep of buildings due to the growing concerns about climate change, resources, and urban resilience. Even though awareness has grown, adoption is still constrained by supply-chain problems, poor stakeholder knowledge, fragmented policies, expensive upfront costs, and skill gaps. Opportunities for expansion, however, include corporate demand, cutting-edge technology, creative funding, government incentives, and model initiatives. Fast urban growth, forward-thinking municipal policies, and robust institutional backing put both cities in a great position to spearhead India’s sustainable building movement. In order to do this and make a substantial contribution to environmental objectives and sustainable urban development, it will be necessary to implement policies in concert with industry cooperation and public-private partnerships.
