Abstract

As the largest construction industry in the world, the Chinese construction industry not only has huge sustainability implications for China, but also significantly influences the world’s resource consumption due to its tremendous scale. However, there is a lack of studies identifying the fundamental challenges hindering the transformation towards sustainable construction in China from a holistic triple bottom line perspective of sustainability. This study aims to identify the challenges, thereby revealing the future research directions accelerating the transition towards sustainable construction in China. Through content analysis of both existing literature and government plans, this study identifies the key sustainability challenges, governmental measures, and critical future research opportunities to help tackle the challenges hindering the sustainability transition of the Chinese construction industry. Even though this study focuses on China, it provides a holistic reference for researchers, industry practitioners and policymakers worldwide to understand the sustainability challenges of the construction industry, as the construction industries in many countries face sustainability challenges similar to those in China.

是什么阻碍了中国向可持续建筑的转型?关键挑战和未来方向

作为世界上最大的建筑业，中国建筑业不仅对中国的可持续发展有着巨大的影响，而且由于其巨大的规模，也对世界的资源消耗产生了重大影响。然而，缺乏从可持续性的整体三重底线角度来确定阻碍中国向可持续建筑转型的根本挑战的研究。本研究的目的是识别挑战，从而揭示未来的研究方向，加速中国向可持续建筑的转型。通过对现有文献和政府计划的内容分析，本研究确定了关键的可持续性挑战、政府措施和关键的未来研究机会，以帮助解决阻碍中国建筑业可持续性转型的挑战。尽管本研究的重点是中国，但它为全球的研究人员、行业从业者和政策制定者了解建筑业的可持续性挑战提供了一个整体的参考，因为许多国家的建筑业面临着与中国类似的可持续性挑战。
