Materials-GRoWL: Gauging the Rest-of-World’s Lifecycles of construction materials
This project, Materials-GRoWL, will assess the current and future construction material uses that compose human settlements of the Global South, which is sometimes indiscreetly aggregated as the Rest of the World (RoW) in global studies. This is crucial, because construction materials have global environmental impacts: half of yearly consumption of all raw materials, significant shares of carbon emissions, and major contributors to land use change. Most of their future demands and thus environmental and societal impacts will occur in the global south. This is also challenging, because understanding the lifecycles of construction materials – how many and which materials, where are they used,…
