摘要
Engineering management research objects have gradually been transformed from micro-scale projects to macro-scale built environment.Built environment has driven the advancement of civilization through human history.From the Stone Age to the modem era,built environment,which refers to manmade surroundings,has provided the setting for human activities.Built environment has undergone developments and evolution processes as civilization grew.Today,technological advancements cause influences of built environment to encompass every aspect of life,as material,spatial and cultural products of the human labor force,which combines material factors and energy in a lively way of work and in forms.However,the concept of built environment remains unclear.Built environment faces a major challenge,such as the use of science and technology to solve key national and global issues.Thus,the definitions of built environment were systematically reviewed and summarized from different perspectives and levels to address these issues.The grand challenges of built environment,including climate change and energy consumption,urbanization and infrastructure construction,growth,and innovation,were summarized.Furthermore,the corresponding management issues and future development strategies were proposed to solve identified challenges of built environment.
