The cement and concrete sectors work together to continually reduce their impact on the environment through improved manufac-turing techniques, product innovation and improved specification. 1.1.1 Benefits of concrete in sustainable construction Sustainable construction was recently identified by the European Commission as one of the Lead Markets.

High density concrete reduces the size and quantity of surface voids thus resisting accumulation of dirt and dust. Precast concrete components are more durable to acid attack, friction, corrosion, impact, abrasion, and other environment effects. Precast concrete structures have longer service years and require minimal repairs and maintenance.

By 2050, there are forecast to be 2.4 billion more people in cities, and this century could rightly be called the urban century. This paper argues that, paradoxically, without the use of nature the urban century will fail. We review three literatures to assess the scientific support for this proposition. First, studies from economics show that it is the extreme potential for …
