“…About 2,500 Km recycled plastic roads have been laid in the country. Singh and Bhowmik [32] considered the case of Phagwara and Jalandhar cities, to show the benefits of reusing plastic waste in the construction modified bitumen roads and a way to solve the problem of huge amount of plastic waste generated on a daily basis. Enfrin and Giustozzi [29] critically reviewed the potential use of recycled plastic into asphalt pavement.…”

Road Construction which comes under Highway Engineering is an important area in Transportation Engineering, which is a major branch of Civil Engineering. Roads are extremely important for inland transportation and are valuable mode of transportation in the case of landlocked regions. Even though roads and waterways were popular modes of transportation from ancient times, but roads were way safer in comparison to the latter. In the recorded history, during the Roman era, roads were focused and they were developed through innovative designs and methods according to that era. Before Roman era, roads were found to be un-metalled ones and it used to become troublesome to use them especially during rainy season. The Romans were able to overcome this problem and made a breakthrough during that era. However, this was just the beginning of innovations in designs, methods and materials to construct roads over time. In the 21st century, the roads are highly strong and durable but with the current technologies, more innovations can be done in terms of materials and technologies to improve them further in the future. Of course, airways has also come into picture as a fast mode of transportation but roads are way cheaper mode of transportation in comparison to the former. In this paper, some possible innovations that can be applied in the construction of roads will be highlighted. This includes Self-Healing Concrete, Prefabricated Plastic Roads, Recycled Plastic Roads as well as Solar Roads, which will be briefly discussed in the paper. Their comparison to the conventional roads will be done to understand their utility. Some graphical analysis is also performed on the basis of the data collected from different sources in this paper.

Plastic is found in abundance on earth due to its cheap capital cost and large-scale availability. Plastic waste is a mean to degrade our environment as it is also a source of many toxic gasses and is non-biodegradable. There must be some way to eliminate such a threat to our surroundings. The use of Low-density polyethylene such as bottles, polythene bags, and much more as a replacement in bitumen blend provides various benefits like an increase in resistance to deformation, increase in durability, strength, reduction in seepage, mitigating of pollution, and gainful for waste disposal.

In this book chapter, the concept of built environment along with sustainable planning and development were briefly explained. The book chapter highlighted the way the Indian built environment is being planned and developed in the recent years, and the past problems as well as the current problems of built environment, which were faced especially in India. Some major initiatives and projects were mentioned as well as briefly discussed in this chapter. A number of scientific and research papers related to the topic which were published in recent years will be considered to find out the gaps in the research. Further, the author collected data from various sources in order to perform graphical analysis to further support the study in the book chapter. On the basis of the graphical analysis, some major advantages and challenges of the sustainable built environment were discussed in this chapter.
