Sustainable development

In this week lecture and seminar, I have learned about how to differentiate between sustainable development and green building. First of all, let defined what are them.

Sustainable development: "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." (United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
Green building: Using a process of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout the building life cycle.

Before that, I will mix up the sustainable development with green building and thought both of them are similar. After conducting the seminar and lecture, I have learnt that green building is just a green technology involve in the sustainable development. Sustainable development covered the aspect of  environments, social and economic.  As an example, a sustainable development should encourage the employment rate within the development area I order to fulfil the economic aspect.

A successful sustainable development should take consideration on the people’s needs in current and future. Thus, I have learned how to implement the sustainable development in our proposed development at Matilda street. I should consider on the ascept listed in sustainable development before carry out a development to provide better environment for future generation.
