some selected HBs of Samarkand City in conformity with Sustainable Built Environment. The research was basically cantered on reviewed sources and materials ranging from academic journals, conference proceedings, textbooks, newspapers, photo and historical archives of
conservation projects with more emphasis on Samarkand heritages. These highlights the way to understanding conservation processes, approaches and or strategies known as 10Rs employed in the selected HBs of Samarkand City. The Conservation improves the sense of magnificence, attractiveness, beautification and the awesomeness of the historical and HBs of Samarkand city in Uzbekistan.
strategic importance, dynamic complexity, adaptability and extensive impacts. Such combinations make them inherently vulnerable to crises. As a developing country, Nigeria is facing some fundamental challenges that need attention before it can fully realize its economic potential due to its size, population and resources. This paper examines the socio-economic performances of MCPs in the light of sustainable development with the view to identify and assess such performances from the project professionals’ perspectives’ working in Nigeria’s
built environment. The literature reviewed led to the identification of 16nr. SEP impact factors of MCPs; forms the backbone of the questionnaire. These SEP factors and their related impacts
brought about by MCPs in Nigeria assessed and the results show they were significant as they aid the sustainable development of the overall country and its citizens socio-economically. These altogether shapes the overall sustainable development of a developing country like Nigeria.
“Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” is a set of
17 "Global Goals" with 169 targets between them. Spearheaded by the United Nations
through a deliberative process involving its 193 Member States, as well as a global
civil society, the goals are contained in paragraph 54 United Nations Resolution of 25
September 2015. The Resolution is a broader intergovernmental agreement that acts
as the Post 2015 Development Agenda (successor to the Millennium Development
Goals). The SDGs build on the Principles agreed upon under Resolution, popularly
known as The Future We Want. Nigeria as a country as a developing country is faced
with severe development challenges “blown up” burgeoning population amidst
declining oil revenues, which is the mainstay of the country’s economy. Nigeria will
need to prioritize the goals in order to ensure it meet its targets. In Nigeria, adoption
the sustainable design is a challenge to the architect. This is because the
currentparadigm of thought treats building as an economic process, rather than an
ecological, social andcultural phenomenon responding to people’s needs and
aspirations. Such deeply entrenchedeconomic thought dominates social and cultural
concerns as well as the environment and thisposes an obstacle to achieving the
objective of sustainable design. The aim of this research work is to discuss and assess
the Sustainable development goals SDGs as perceived by the architects practicing
within the Nigeria’s built environment. Some of the factors hindering the SDGs arealso identified in light of the perceptions of the architect’s practicing in Nigeria’s built
environment. The main sources of data were from journals, conference / seminar /
workshop papers, text books, newspapers, magazines and the internet sources etc.,
which were used to review literatures that helped in identifying and discussing some
selected factors Hindering SDGs in Nigeria as perceived by the architects practicing
within Nigeria’s built environment.
areas of human activity is imperative. The built environment (BE) to which the construction industry
belongs is not an exception to this. The BE is one clear example of the impact of human activity on
resources. These gave rise to Green Buildings (GB). GB is the foundation of sustainable construction and
building development. These clearly indicate that GB is a major response to ensure environmental
sustainability. Despite all these glaring challenges and drastic measures, GB developments and sustainable
practices are embraced very slowly and practiced at slow pace in the Nigeria’s construction industry. This
is worrisome and is due to some factors affecting such pace. The aim of this paper is to identify and discuss
Green building as a concept and means of achieving environmental sustainability in Nigeria’s built
environment with a view exposing the Hindrances, the Drivers and Success Factors of GB concept and their
impacts on the Nigeria’s BE. Secondary sources of data were used to review literatures on the GB field,
which helps in identifying and narrowing the various factors that hindered, drive and make a GB
development to be successful. These were central to the discussions in this work. The research concluded
that, GB design, construction and operation is the major approach to ensure sustainable practice that ensures
sustainability of the built environment which ultimately goes in line with the United Nations’ outlined
Sustainable Development Goals.
