  • Achieving multifunctionality in green infrastructure projects

    Open AccessSakibu Seidu, Daniel Edwards et al.ARTICLEEnvironment Development and…2025

    While many developed countries are well advanced in green infrastructure (GI), more efforts are needed to bring less developed regions to speed. Existing evidence shows that GI understanding differs significantly among stakeholders due to the multifunctionality concept.

    Green intellectual capital (GIC) is required to effectively improve environmental performance (EP) of construction organisations. However, the lack of an appropriate GIC model impedes environmental sustainability efforts. To bridge the existing practice gap, this study employed a partial least squares structural equation modelling method to develop a GIC model for the construction industry. The model confirmed a positive significant impact of gre…

In this study, a conceptual framework for controlling urbanisation challenges to implementing SSCC in developing countries is presented. The study adopted …

  • Pension reforms, risk transfer and housing finance innovations

    Open AccessKenneth Appiah Donkor-Hyiaman, Erika Pärn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Housing and the Built…2019Cited by: 1References: 8

    Weak housing creditor protection, accentuated by weak landed property rights and underdeveloped credit information systems constitute major constraints to housing finance development in many developing countries. Improving housing creditor protection require further institutional development and financial innovation. As a trigger of financial innovation, regulation has spawned pension reforms leading to the global shift from defined benefit to de…
