Megaprojects for Megacities is a collection of 14 international
case studies of transportation, urban development, and
environmental megaprojects completed during the last ten years in
North America, Asia and Europe. It goes beyond the previous
megaproject literature to look at how and why each project was
conceived, planned, engineered, financed, and delivered, and how
particular planning and delivery practices shaped successful and
unsuccessful outcomes. With individual chapters on high-speed rail,
urban metro systems, bus rapid transit, roadway tunnels and
bridges, new and improved airports, waterfront redevelopment
projects, new towns, urban parks and renewable energy projects,
this book is unparalleled in its coverage, depth and takeaways for
practice. It incorporates current examples from across the world,
including North America, Asia, the UK, and Europe. This collection
of case studies is presented in an approachable way that will prove
valuable to academics, researchers and students as well as
practicing professionals, financiers and senior government
officials interested in infrastructure planning, financing, project
management and delivery.
