Construction in Cities : Social, Environmental, Political, and Economic Concerns
Construction in Cities :
Social, Environmental, Political, and Economic Concerns
Patricia J. Lancaster
Today's construction environment is more complex than any previous era.
The possible impediments to a project's successful completion include
not only "bricks and mortar" issues like material availability or
curtain wall testing, but a broad array of concerns involving the
economic, political, social, environmental, archeological, community,
and historic preservation aspects of the project. Costly delays are
common; regulatory processes can be prohibitive; stakeholders have more
say. All of the people involved in an urban construction project must be
knowledgeable about, and conversant with these conditions.
Bringing together over 500 years of combined professional experience,
Construction in Cities: Social, Environmental, Political, and Economic
Concerns provides you with a compendium of knowledge with which to solve
problems and propel your projects. Beginning with an overview of the
regulations governing construction in cities, the book continues with
concrete, practical advice for below-ground work such as tunnels,
roadways and foundations. It follows with an examination of five actual
projects to explore ways to complete elaborate urban buildings. Finally,
the book takes you deep into the murky waters of issues that often halt
construction projects.
Since the unexpected always happens in construction, you need a book on
your shelf to reach for when it does - a source that delineates clean
and concise recipes for successfully dealing with such diverse
conditions as unexpected archeological finds, dying trees, and toxic
air. If you play a role in ensuring the delivery of capital projects in
an urban environment, Construction in Cities serves as a handy reference
of actions and methods for overriding these barriers.
