ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF URBAN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN CHINA
Pollution and hazards caused by urban civil construction projects have become a serious problem in China. Sources of pollution and hazards from construction sites include dust, harmful gases,
noises, blazing lights, solid and liquid wastes, ground movements, messy sites, fallen items, etc.
These types of pollution and hazards can not only annoy residents nearby, but also affect the
health and well-being of people in the entire city. For example, in big cities such as Shanghai
and Beijing, air quality has been deteriorating due to extensive urban redevelopment activities
.
