Built Environment: 

Built Environment Of the global energy consumption, 75% occurs in cities and 80% of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions emanate from cities. Indeed, climate change and urbanization are inseparable. And if cities are part of the problem, they are therefore inevitably part of the solution. Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, 11/05/2007

Built Environment: 

Built Environment Housing … Offices, Schools , Industrial Facilities Infrastructure
