Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish an international framework for sustainable project management in engineering, to make up the lack of research in this field, and to propose a scientific theoretical basis for the establishment of a new project management system. The article adopts literature review, mathematical programming algorithm and case study as the research method. The literature review applied the visual clustering research method and analyzed the results of 21-year research in this field. As a result, the project management system was found to have defects and deficiencies. A mathematical model was established to analyze the composition and elements of the optimized international project management system. The case study research selected large bridges for analysis and verified the superiority and practicability of the theoretical system. Thus, the goal of sustainable development of bridges was achieved. The value of this re-search lies in establishing a comprehensive international project management system model; truly integrating sustainable development with project management; providing new research frames and management models to promote the sustainable development of the construction industry.

The objective of this paper is to find out the relationship between project management and the impact of sustainable development

Summary

Introduction

In response to severe environmental crises and global development inequality, sustainable development strategies have been implemented. It can meet the needs of the present with-out compromising the needs of the generation [2]. Wang et al [3] find that China accounted for 21% of global energy consumption, surpassing the United States and becoming the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to Liu et al [4], China’s construction industry accounted for 64.6% of total emissions from 1991 to 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 5.7%, and carbon emissions will approach the peak level by 2030 and to achieve the goal of environmental control
