THE ROLE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN GREEN BUILDING DEVELOPMENT IN ASIA AND THE WORLD: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FIVE COUNTRIES

Abstract

Abstract: Green building is evolving in response to the need for sustainable infrastructure in different countries. Five international journals India, Malaysia, China, Kazakhstan, and green building optimization globally show that the success of green building implementation is heavily influenced by the country's infrastructure capacity, including energy infrastructure, transportation, construction technology, policies, rating systems, and institutional support. This review analyzes the driving factors, obstacles, and strategic approaches in green building development based on the findings of the five journals. The results of the study show that countries with strong infrastructure are better able to implement the concept of green building consistently, while countries with limited infrastructure face material, technological, financing, and institutional barriers. The integration between infrastructure development and green building is the key to success towards environmental sustainability. Therefore, strengthening clean energy systems, low-emission transportation networks, efficient building technology, and comprehensive regulations are the main recommendations to encourage the implementation of green building in the future.
