Abstract: Abstract This article analyses the current state of facilities management in China, highlighting the importance of facilities management while focusing on the challenges it faces. The paper discusses emerging trends and technologies such as sustainability and efficiency, the use of IoT technologies, the shift towards preventive and predictive maintenance, teleworking and distributed teams, and how they are changing our understanding and management of the workplace. Particular attention is paid to two key trends, digital facilities management and sustainable, environmentally friendly facilities management. Finally, we explore the implications of these emerging trends for facilities management practices in China and highlight the importance of how these emerging trends and technologies can be used to optimise the operation of urban infrastructure, improve the quality of life of citizens and drive economic productivity.
