Overview

How we construct and live in our built environments is of vital importance to our future. Much has been written on ethics in the 'natural' environment, yet the built environment has, comparatively, been neglected. Ethics and the Built Environment fills this gap. International contributors debate building ethics in all its forms and propose agendas for future development. The book is of interest to architects, students of building and building design, environmentalists, politicians and readers with a general interest in ethics.
