Although instances of domestic and international efforts are prevalent, there is a long way to go before accomplishing developmental ideals. A practical approach for realizing the vital goals of sustainable development is of the utmost importance. In effect, the construction sector requires extensive forward-looking studies for strategizing, building and granting a sustainable future. The inconsistency between the goals and activities of different sectors is a main impediment upon undertaking sustainable development\u2019s goals; decision and lawmakers must consider the purpose and interests of the building industry on a micro and macro level. This paper is a brief review for understanding the concept of sustainable development and illustrates some of the international efforts, and highlights them for decision makers.\u00a0 Using the \u2018PESTLE\u2019 analysis technique, external and internal factors influencing sustainability in the Iranian construction sector were identified. Interviews were conducted with experts using the \u2018Snowball\u2019 research method due to the lack of knowledgeable respondents in the subject area. 11 Practical steps needed in Iran were recommended and sorted by their importance to make this vision a reality. The results can be generalized to other disciplines as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleSubject\">\n<h4>Keywords<\/h4>\n<div>Sustainable Development; Sustainable Construction; PESTLE.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleCitations\">\n<h4>References<\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>Avil\u00e9s, Luis A. \u201cSustainable Development and Environmental Legal Protection in the European Union: A Model for Mexican Courts to Follow?\u201d Mexican Law Review 6, no. 2 (January 2014): 251\u2013272. doi:10.1016\/s1870-0578(16)30014-2.<\/p>\n<p>Declaration, Rio. &#8220;Rio declaration on environment and development.&#8221; (1992).<\/p>\n<p>United Nations, \u201cSustainable Development.
