Documentation for Land Use and Integrated Development Criteria. 23 Conclusion The social, economic and environmental context of South African suggests that implementing sustainable development is increasingly important. However, opportunities within built environment projects to adopt a sustainable development approach often appear to be missed. This may be the result of planning and design approaches that do not take sustainability into account. It may also be easier to follow conventional routes rather than take on processes that appear to be both complex (by addressing a range of different objectives simultaneously) and contentious (by addressing social, economic and environmental issues). This paper aims to demonstrate that a relatively simple framework can be developed to help ensure that sustainable development is integrated into built environment projects. It argues that a holistic and integrated approach, in which social, economic and environmental objectives are addressed simultaneously, encourages the development of innovative and effective solutions that support sustainable development within a South African context. 24 References CIDB, 2003, 3 R’s basic guide for SMMEs.
