This collection of four chapters examines education and learning practices in the sustainable built environment within Australia and India, highlighting the crucial link between ecological sustainability and the built environment. Three of the chapters present a tertiary education perspective: two from established universities in Australia (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and the University of Newcastle) and a third from the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), a unique “21st-century” university focused on interdisciplinary urbanism. The third chapter is co-authored by Loughborough University, UK, a partner in the Solar Decathlon project discussed. The final chapter is contributed by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Delhi, a research institution dedicated to energy, environment, and sustainable development. This set of chapters identifies key gaps in current sustainable built environment education practices in both Australia and India, emphasising the urgent need for integrated, experiential, and interdisciplinary models. The recommendations in these chapters are practical as well as theoretical, serving as pathways for universities, industry, and communities to collaborate in nurturing a new generation of resilient, ecologically conscious built environment professionals.

摘要

This collection of four chapters examines education and learning practices in the sustainable built environment within Australia and India, highlighting the crucial link between ecological sustainability and the built environment. Three of the chapters present a tertiary education perspective: two from established universities in Australia (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and the University of Newcastle) and a third from the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), a unique “21st-century” university focused on interdisciplinary urbanism. The third chapter is co-authored by Loughborough University, UK, a partner in the Solar Decathlon project discussed. The final chapter is contributed by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Delhi, a research institution dedicated to energy, environment, and sustainable development. This set of chapters identifies key gaps in current sustainable built environment education practices in both Australia and India, emphasising the urgent need for integrated, experiential, and interdisciplinary models. The recommendations in these chapters are practical as well as theoretical, serving as pathways for universities, industry, and communities to collaborate in nurturing a new generation of resilient, ecologically conscious built environment professionals.
