Abstract In the wake of rapid urbanisation, cities around the world have increasingly faced sustainability challenges, affecting not only the natural environment, but also economic growth and social issues as well. Half of the world’s population lives in cities, and this will continue to increase. Growth without limits has become a phenomenon of big cities. The spread to outlying areas has resulted in less support for sub-urban areas in providing prevalent services. The Hong Kong Green Building Council is working with Arcadis cum Urbis on the development of a Sustainable Built Environment (SBE) Guide for Hong Kong. Through reviewing international and regional best practices, case studies, and relevant policies and initiatives; an integrated approach was adopted to identify and create synergies to generate new strategies and practices for a sustainable built environment. Knowledge sharing and stakeholder engagement workshops were held to collect scholastic and professional views on those prospective strategies.
