Developing countries face the challenge of maintaining economic
growth and socio-economic development, at the core of which sits
the construction industry. Considerable research on construction in
developing countries took place in the 1970's and 1980's, but
little since, a gap which this book fills. Including contributions
from prominent academics and practitioners in Australia, China, the
Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, and
the UK, this is a truly international analysis of a subject of
global interest. The most insightful and relevant of recent
research on topics such as Millennium Development Goals, the
informal construction sector, human resource development,
technology, finance and social change, are all addressed in the
context of the construction industry in the developing world. Also
considered are other key aspects of construction industry
development such as institution building, nurturing of contractors
and consultants and championing of industry development programmes.
While the challenge has grown and the needs have become even more
pressing, the research to date has rarely presented effective
solutions. Focussing on those aspects of the construction industry
most crucial to development, this is a much needed up-to-date study
that sheds new light on a variety of concepts and issues. This is
essential reading for researchers, professionals and students
interested in the construction industry in developing countries.
Readers of this book will be interested in its companion volume;
Contemporary Issues of Construction in Developing Countries.
