Week 3 - AEE

In more recent years, there has been a resurgence of environmental awareness in other countries, particularly developing countries such as India.

Debates over the effects of the impact of building development on the environment fundamentally led to the legislation we see today.  In particular, in the 1950's and 1960's, vast areas of land clearing with no consideration for the environment may have started the trigger for legislation.  This increasing awareness of environmental issues has led to debate at political, NGO and governmental level and has led to the creation of environmental standards.
