摘要
China’s architecture,engineering,and construction(AEC)industry needs a clear and sustainable development roadmap.Drawing inspiration from speeches delivered at a seminar hosted by the Chinese Academy of Engineering and extensive literature research on Chinese policies,this article presents a summary of the current trends in the AEC industry in four dimensions:industrialization as the foundation,intelligence as the enabler,lean management as the strategy,and green development as the goal.These four dimensions are intricately interconnected and rooted in multiple disciplines.The article provides a detailed review of the current practices,challenges,and future directions associated with each dimension.Additionally,ten grand challenges were proposed to stimulate discussions on the future of the AEC industry.This article offers an overarching understanding of the AEC industry and presents a four-dimension framework for sustainable development,which can be valuable for AEC practitioners.
