A Practical Research Process for Developing a Sustainable Built Environment in Emerging Economies

This book aims to fill the dearth of practical research guidance and reference material with specific focus on the built environment in developing countries. It has been structured so that each chapter is largely free-standing, allowing the reader (undergraduate, postgraduate, or practitioner) to reference the material with ease.
