New technologies for sustaining development in infrastructure, logistics and construction industry

Abstract

Infrastructure, transport and the construction industry belong to a potentially significant polluted environment. However, the current development of technologies and materials in the construction industry gives the possibility to eliminate the negative effects of transport and construction. Designing and building green buildings can significantly improve the environment and reduce the environmental footprint of transport, logistics and construction. This research discusses the issue and possibilities of new progressive technologies implemented in the construction industry for the needs of sustainable infrastructure, logistics and construction. The paper details the possibilities of green roofs, their advantages and impact not only on the construction industry, but also on infrastructure and transport in general. The aim of the paper is to specify these technologies and possibilities from the theoretical point of view.
