Abstract

In response to the alarming environmental problems, there is a pressing need for a fundamental shift towards sustainable construction. However, limited attention has been given in the literature to the governance of this transformative change. The paper aims to address this research gap by investigating how the transition to sustainable construction can be realized despite the barriers encountered. The analysis focuses on the Dutch Building Agreement Steel as an illustrative case. By examining the governance structure of the Agreement and evaluating its results thus far, the study concludes that a collaborative network of partners has effectively developed a roadmap and performed accompanying activities to achieve the intended objectives. Nonetheless, a key challenge lies in mobilizing the entire construction steel chain and the government during the upcoming scale‐up phase to actively adhere to the Agreement. This new form of network governance, facilitated by an independent intermediary, does not replace traditional public governance; rather, it complements it. The approach tested in the Netherlands holds potential for application in other contexts as well.
实施可持续建设面临的挑战
为了应对令人担忧的环境问题,迫切需要从根本上转向可持续建筑。然而,文献中对这一变革的治理给予了有限的关注。本文旨在通过研究如何在遇到障碍的情况下实现向可持续建筑的过渡来解决这一研究空白。分析的重点是荷兰建筑协议钢作为一个说明性的案例。通过审查该协议的治理结构并评估其迄今取得的成果,该研究得出结论认为,合作伙伴的协作网络已有效地制定了路线图,并开展了相关活动,以实现预期目标。然而,一个关键的挑战在于在即将到来的规模扩大阶段动员整个建筑钢铁链和政府积极遵守协议。这种由独立中介机构推动的新形式的网络治理不会取代传统的公共治理;相反,它是对它的补充。在荷兰测试的方法也具有在其他情况下应用的潜力。

期刊介绍: Steel Construction publishes peerreviewed papers covering the entire field of steel construction research. In the interests of "construction without depletion", it skilfully combines steel with other forms of construction employing concrete, glass, cables and membranes to form integrated steelwork systems. Since 2010 Steel Construction is the official journal for ECCS- European Convention for Constructional Steelwork members. You will find more information about membership on the ECCS homepage. Topics include: -Design and construction of structures -Methods of analysis and calculation -Experimental and theoretical research projects and results -Composite construction -Steel buildings and bridges -Cable and membrane structures -Structural glazing -Masts and towers -Vessels, cranes and hydraulic engineering structures -Fire protection -Lightweight structures
