This book focuses on developing a holistic sustainability assessment model for built environment that can help in identifying sustainability issues and parameters for the built environment. It covers a wide range of sustainable built form issues in the local and regional contexts.

The volume identifies significant built form sustainability indicators, criteria and sub-criterion while highlighting the importance of incorporating sustainability principles and assessment of sustainability. It also discusses the data collection process for defining priorities of sustainability parameters using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The book presents information to obtain fuzzy weights to classify assessed built form. The chapters in this book explain the development of an integrated built environment assessment system for infrastructure projects.

This book will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers of planning, architecture, construction, urban studies, interior designing, urban planning and civil engineering. It will also be useful for architects, planners, civil engineers, interior designers, builders, developers, green building assessors and those interested in the sustainable assessment-built environment and urban development.
