“…This obstacle involves multiple facets, such as the exorbitant upfront expenses of sustainable infrastructure, restricted availability of funding for sustainable initiatives, and the perceived economic uncertainties linked to the adoption of novel technologies. To overcome financial limitations, it is necessary to create financial incentives, subsidies, or new financing methods that can make sustainable technology more easily attainable and cost-efficient for urban stakeholders [39][40][41][42]. Upon comparing the study's findings with those of previous research, it becomes apparent that the obstacles to the adoption of sustainable technology in urban communities are well documented and widely acknowledged.…”

Sustainability evaluation methodologies are distinguished from other evaluation tools, such as the LEED system and the BREEAM system, in that they include a new local evaluation methodology. The life cycle of a building is divided into distinct phases, including production of materials and components, construction and implementation, use/operation, maintenance, demolition, and disposal. Understanding the classification of assessment tools based on the building to be assessed, tool users, and building life cycle stages will inform selection of appropriate assessment tools and development of a comprehensive methodology. The study aimed to extract and evaluate opinions and perspectives from users, stakeholders, and researchers about the current status of sustainable technology in urban communities and to analyze the basic factors and indicators that contributed to the efficiency of urban communities and their relationship to sustainable technology. An inductive and analytical research was conducted using a questionnaire form on a sample of 100 participants to collect the opinions of users, relevant authorities, and researchers in the field. The questionnaire was designed to collect opinions and perspectives from different groups, including residents, local authorities (such as provincial officials, engineering administration, etc.), and experts in the field of sustainable technology. It covered a range of topics related to sustainable technology, including perceptions of current sustainability practices, barriers to implementation, potential areas for improvement, and proposals to enhance the efficiency of urban clusters. The research provided a comprehensive understanding of views on sustainable technology and help identify key areas for evaluation and improvement.

“…The implementation of local measures must be aligned to the local context. There are cultural challenges as well [91], such as denial or resistance to change, which prevents the inclusion and diversification of actions in favor of the environment. This situation prevents the appropriation and demand for initiatives that seek to mitigate and adapt to climate change from social foundations, such as housing.…”

Most of the world’s population resides in urban areas, and it is expected that this will continue to be the case in the future. These urban areas face enormous challenges such as climate change, economic instability and inequality. Housing is considered a basic unit comprising cities, and, as such, this study contextualized the concepts of urban resilience and sustainability against climate change such that housing models that respond to these concepts could be identified. As a result of an extensive literature review, three resilient housing models and four sustainable housing models are presented and discussed with a focus on the main characteristics necessary for meeting urban resilience and sustainability against climate change. When analyzing the housing models considered resilient, the need to establish housing on safe land stood out and concrete was a common building material among these housing models. In addition, the use of alternative sources of water and energy supply was prioritized. On the other hand, sustainable housing models were developed by local entities and certified by various initiatives. In addition, these models account for the climatic specifications of their location, energy and water efficiency, and quality of the indoor environment, and promote the use of local materials and resources. The use of durable materials was considered a requirement for both resilience and sustainability. The results of this study are a contribution to the process of strengthening housing against the challenge posed by climate change in a timely and adequate manner considering both urban resilience and sustainability aspects.

“…Future studies should also focus on the operationalisation of these theories within practical settings, evaluating their effectiveness in real-world scenarios and refining them based on iterative feedback. There is a need to foster collaborative environments where stakeholders from academia, industry, and policy can co-create knowledge (Abbas et al, 2022;Abdullahi and Kehinde, 2023;Adabre et al, 2022;Adewunmi et al, 2023;Afsar et al, 2020;Aigbavboa et al, 2017;Chan et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2017;Dobarrio Machado Ciccarino and Serrano Fernandes Rodrigues, 2023;Godin et al, 2021;Golić et al, 2023;Hagbert et al, 2013;Hosseini et al, 2018;Jelinek et al, 2024;Kaur Bedi, 2018;Khan et al, 2022;Latos, 2018;O'higgins, 2001;Olanrewaju et al, 2022;Parafiniuk, 2014;Portillo-Tarragona et al, 2018;Scarpellini et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2013;Silvius and Schipper, 2014;Venkata Mohan et al, 2016;Yin and Li, 2018;Zabalza Bribián et al, 2011;Zheng et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2021). This would not only enhance the relevance and applicability of theoretical models but also ensure that they are informed by a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives.…”

Contemporary construction project management faces a significant challenge: the existing academic literature, spanning various disciplines, remains underutilised due to a lack of systematic integration for transdisciplinary collaboration. The primary purpose of this study is to forecast connected disciplinary thought through a novel bibliometric model, in the development of ‘co-theory analysis’, thereby identifying potential transdisciplinary collaboration gaps capable of effectively addressing transdisciplinary research in the field of construction project management through a theocratic lens of transdisciplinary perspectives. This novel method of exploring interdisciplinary theory utilises a detailed bibliometric analysis of project management literature from Scopus by identifying its interconnected relationship with construction project management, categorising papers by theory to reveal interdisciplinary intersections and potential collaborations. It statistically predicts research effectiveness, providing a roadmap for success across a series of disciplines. The analysis reveals significant, yet previously unexplored, theoretical intersections with a focus on construction project management and other co-keyword disciplines, cointegrated through theory to systematically map and analyse patterns in academic literature trends. These intersections suggest specific areas where collaborative research yields substantial potential advancements. Additionally, the study further identifies key institutions and academic experts whose combined expertise could be pivotal in bridging these identified research gaps. This novel bibliometric analysis method for statistical theory analysis is developed to enhance transdisciplinary collaboration and is a considerable contribution to the advancement of transdisciplinary research. Aligned with SDG 9, in addressing complex challenges and promoting sustainable industrialisation and innovation. It identifies key theories for use in construction project management, offering a framework for strategic academic transdisciplinary partnerships and targeted theoretical exploration for academics of any level.
