What is the role of green architecture in sustainable development?

Green architecture plays a crucial role in sustainable development by reducing the negative impact of buildings on the environment and promoting the efficient use of resources. It involves designing buildings and structures that are energy-efficient, use renewable energy, incorporate natural ventilation and lighting, and use sustainable building materials. Green architecture also involves designing buildings that can adapt to the changing environmental conditions by using design strategies such as rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and green roofs. Overall, green architecture helps to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and promotes a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
