At
the beginning of the lecture, a question: “What is sustainable development?”
was asked. At that moment, green technology and sustainable development have
got me confused as I’ve incautiously linked green technology with sustainable
development. After the lecture, I’ve done some reflective thinking. I’m can
clearly explain that sustainable development is development that capable to
satisfy the present needs without affecting the ability of future generation to
meet their need. Sustainable development attempts to balance different needs
against an awareness of environmental, social and economic limitations appeared
in a particular area.

on Each Sustainable Development Factor
I’ve
tried to apply this understanding accurately in my module coursework to ensure
a sustainable development has been proposed to make improvement in Matilda
Street. By doing so, I’ve achieved another competency for Assessment of
Professional Competence requirements for RICS to demonstrate my understanding
in how sustainability applied in the construction industry.
I
hope that the knowledge I gained on sustainable development can be applied in
my future working life to improve construction industry.
