“…Neighborhoods, which are generally considered as the smallest, basic planning and management unit of urban areas, are considered as a unique part of urban areas with their different sociological characteristics, although their surface areas and density of living vary [19]. Community is used to define the neighborhood citizens in general, but in many studies this term identifies neighborhoods or other urban units [18,20].…”

“…There are many indicators and application schemes of these indicators in various basic topics. Although many NSA tools, which are the spin-offs of the Green Building Assessment (GBA) Tool, are members of WGBC, the indicators and application schemes of NSA tools are mostly different [19]. The reason for this is that although there are some limited studies in the literature on this subject, there is no literatureized sustainable neighborhood criterion based on it.…”

“…Many urban movements and terms that fit the sustainability concept have emerged by the Eco-Urbanism movement that emerged in the 1980s One of these terms is sustainable city. Terms such as green city, eco-city, and resilient city are terms that can correspond to the definition of sustainable city [19,32].

We have 8 years to 2030, when the promises and targets of sustainable development and smart growth are expected to be achieved at the global level, the agenda items about sustainability remain urgent. Sustainable development and smart growth are more important than ever. The managers of the Sustainable and Smart concepts are local governments that own urban units and can make more critical decisions due to scale permits, rather than the changing policies of states. Considering the point reached, it can be observed that the concepts of the sustainable neighborhood, community and city are based on different foundations in the light of assessment tools and models, although the urban terminology that develops with the concept of sustainability is often used to support each other. It can even be said that its sustainable indicators are close to smart city criteria rather than sustainability criteria. In this study, sustainable neighborhood, community and city criteria, the mentioned urban units were determined, defined, and interpreted through 18 assessment tools, guidelines, standards, and models in total.

“…Moreover, green buildings also bring remarkable benefits for residents' comfort and health. Green buildings effectively reduce occupant discomfort and morbidity and increase occupant satisfaction to improve the users' experience further, as well as the work efficiency of green building occupants in China [129,151,154,158,[176][177][178]180,[182][183][184][237][238][239][240].…”

In the 21st century, traditional construction activities exert a severe negative influence on the environment and ecology. To mitigate the negative influence of construction, green buildings have received increasing attention worldwide. Compared with conventional buildings, green buildings have significant advantages for environmental conservation and public health. Although green buildings bring excellent benefits, the development status of green buildings in China is still unsatisfactory. To enhance the understanding of green buildings and promote green building development in China, this study was undertaken to conduct a systematic review of green building development in China. The PRISMA protocol was used as the primary procedure for article screening and selection. This review was conducted between March 2022 and May 2022. In this study, 186 articles were reviewed, and the definition, development trends, evaluation standards, importance, and hindrances of green buildings in China were summarized and discussed through the systematic review. Moreover, the benefits, challenges, and future directions of green building promotion and development in China were discussed and analyzed. This study can promote public familiarity with the current situation of green buildings in China to boost their development. In addition, this study can also provide practical advice to green building stakeholders on the future direction of green building development in China.
