The construction industry and its activities have an important role to play in socio-economic development and quality of life. This is stated in the Agenda 21 for sustainable construction in Developing Countries (CIB/UNEP-IETC, 2002). The United Nations Habitat Agenda (1996) has also addressed the construction sector has a major role to play in terms of sustainable development and achieving adequate and affordable shelter.
My question:
Is affordability considered as a goal in the sustainable development & sustainable construction process? or is it that sustainable development & sustainable construction process wishes to achieve affordability?
we can explain that ''Affordability'' is the goal
because according to the Bruntland commission, the sustainable development has defined as below
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs''
in this way we utilize the sustainable methods to keep on our dignified lives. this life needs to accessing of the sufficient resources.
therefore ''sustainable development'' is only a solution way to achieving affordability
