Sustainable Construction as Public Policy in the Aburrá Valley

Abstract

It is essential to carry out activities that ensure the sustainability of a territory through the way it is inhabited. Occupied spaces, and the manner in which they are occupied, significantly affect the environment, so supporting construction through sustainable practices ensures a change in environmental impacts. Bringing together many institutions in this effort, starting with professional training, further strengthens the reach of sustainable construction, considerably expanding its scope of action across large metropolitan territories.
