Sustainability discourse, place & green building

5/11/2008

 
This paper provides an analysis of sustainability discourses in the building industry and the ecological modernist storyline of 'green building'. It describes the application of Maarten Hajer’s discourse analysis methods to representations by industry professionals and academics at a series of conferences on sustainable built environments held in Australia, Singapore and Vietnam. The research findings describe how policies are produced and legitimized through nationally-contextualised sustainability discourses; and the findings indicate constraints in the production of policies for mitigating global ecological threats from industrialization.
