Green architecture plays a significant role in promoting social inclusion because it is designed to create healthier and more sustainable environments that benefit all community members. This design approach utilizes environmentally friendly and renewable resources, such as natural light and ventilation, low VOC materials, green roofs and walls, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.
In addition to these features, green architecture also promotes greater accessibility and social interaction within spaces. For example, it can include wider walkways, ramps, and elevators to provide accessibility for people with disabilities, and communal spaces that encourage social interaction.
Green architecture also prioritizes the use of locally sourced and socially responsible materials, which contributes to the local economy, creates jobs and encourages community development. Moreover, it emphasizes the use of recycled materials, which reduces waste and preserves natural resources.
Overall, green architecture promotes social inclusion by creating sustainable spaces that are accessible, environmentally and socially responsible and designed to cater to the needs of various communities.
