Thomson’s Environmental Law and Architecture, Building, Construction and Development by Panchajanya Batra Singh – 1st Edition 2021

The building and construction sector is regulated by environmental law through various green legislations, rules, regulations, notifications, international developments and guidelines. Environmental Law and Architecture, Building, Construction and Development is the first book dedicated to study the application of environmental law on built projects. Law requires mandatory compliance, be it the construction of a housing society, a highway, a petroleum refinery, an airport or a zoological garden. Lack of due diligence can lead to adverse environmental, legal and, sometimes, colossal financial ramifications for builders, developers, authorities and other stakeholders. Awareness is the only way to ensure compliance. This book facilitates consciousness as it is more than just a regular compilation of relevant statutory provisions and detailed commentary with case laws. It contains numerous illustrative case studies too, many of which are drawn from real-life cases, and explores policy where necessary. The book covers an interdisciplinary subject that is likely to evolve in a major way in future. It will be useful for judges, lawyers, architects, town planners, academicians and other stakeholders who strive for sustainable development. The simplified language, and attractive design and format will be an additional draw.
