Abstract This review paper explores the integration of digital technologies and policy strategies to advance environmental sustainability in construction. It examines the ecological impacts of traditional practices such as pollution, resource depletion, land use change, and waste generation, while highlighting stakeholder perspectives and policy enforcement challenges. The role of innovative digital tools including sensors, IoT, digital twins, and geospatial techniques is discussed in relation to environmental monitoring, impact assessment, and circular economy practices. Policy frameworks emphasizing regulation, stakeholder engagement, education, and resource recovery are analyzed alongside barriers like technological resistance, regulatory gaps, and socioeconomic obstacles. The paper advocates for comprehensive, multi-faceted solutions that combine technological advancements with effective policy implementation, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder collaboration and capacity building. Future research is directed toward scalable technologies, integrated frameworks, and region-specific case studies to foster a sustainable and resilient construction sector.
Keywords environmental sustainability, digital technologies, policy strategies, construction impacts, circular economy, stakeholder engagement, sustainable practices.
