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.
