The development handle by local governments start from inception until completion involved various stages and design inputs from various design consultants like architects, town planner and engineers. It is the onerous role of local governments to ensure that only qualified consultants are allowed to submit the relevant building plans for all sorts of approvals with regards to sustainable development. Importantly sustainability matter must be known by the local government’s staff as well as the built environment professionals. In relation to that this study involves a look at the knowledge transfer practices towards sustainable development.
