Abstract

This work investigates the newest eco-friendly building materials, including bamboo, recycled concrete, insulation, and geopolymer cement and their importance for urban development. It analyzes ways that these innovations protect the environment even as buildings remain stable and functional. There is now a stronger emphasis on using green construction materials. The building and construction industry produces a lot of carbon and uses a lot of resources. It is needed to move towards greener building materials now more than ever. The research uses both a thorough literature review and a performance comparison of several selected eco-friendly materials. Valuable information was collected by reading academic studies, industry papers and environmental sources. It appears that many sustainable materials stand out for preserving the environment and benefiting the economy over time, but barriers to their use are expensive start-up prices, not being well recognized, and minimal formal support. The study emphasizes that using different steps together, such as making policies, giving incentives and educating people. It is important to make sure more sustainable materials are used in urban areas.
