Description:	As we move toward the 21st century, many industries have begun significant endeavors to preserve the environment. There is no doubt that concrete engineers also have to consider related problems and to clarify the role of concrete. In this paper, a direction for concrete technology in the century of the environment is comprehensively discussed. Firstly, it is emphasized that studies are needed to clarify the interface between durability and safety in the design of concrete structures. Furthermore, the importance of high-performance concrete in the construction of structures with long lives is described with an example developed by the author’s research group. Finally, a concept of environmentally-friendly concrete is provided. The outline of the author’s research group project on “eco-concrete” is shown.
