Yu Zhou (Geography)
A green building is one designed to be environmentally sustainable in its construction and operation. China’s rapid development and urbanization make it a good candidate for a green building program. However, for a green building program to succeed, it is necessary to engage stakeholders and encourage public awareness and participation.
Several cities in China have begun developing green buildings, but the question remains about whether they could feasibly offer sustainable and affordable housing for the general public, or if such housing would be regarded as a luxury.
