construction and real estate sectors, particularly for mitigating GHG
emissions. Evidence can be used to influence policy pathways and carbon
budgets, and to develop detailed carbon strategies and implementation. A key
challenge is to create a stronger connection between the requirements for
individual buildings and the national reduction pathways for the built
environment.
During colonialisation, street names were drawn from historical and societal contexts of the colonisers. Street nomenclature deployed by colonial administrators has a role in legitimising historical narratives and decentring local languages, cultures and heritage.
