Advancing Multidisciplinary Approaches for Sustainable Construction and Project Management

Abstract

The construction industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by rapid advances in digital technologies, heightened sustainability imperatives, and increasing pressures for resilience, efficiency, and accountability. Across both developed and developing economies, these forces are reshaping how construction projects are conceived, delivered, and managed. Yet, the pace and nature of this transformation remain uneven, particularly in contexts characterised by institutional constraints, fragmented industry structures, and resource limitations. It is against this backdrop that this special issue of the Journal of Construction Business and Management (JCBM) was conceived.
