Sustainable development challenges in Abuja's construction industry: Balancing economic growth and environmental conservation

Abstract

The construction industry is pivotal for economic growth, yet its operations contribute significantly to environmental damage and the unsustainable exploitation of depleted natural resources. Recognizing environmental sustainability as imperative, the industry strives to balance ecological preservation with urbanization. This study explores the impact of environmental sustainability on Abuja's construction sector, focusing on green building techniques, legal frameworks, technological advancements, economic implications, and societal benefits. Emphasizing the integration of environmental considerations into urban development strategies, the study aims to ensure Abuja's resilience and prosperity through sustainable construction practices.
