Part of a new series of practical handbooks aimed at providing practising engineers with an understanding of sustainability principles and solutions. To be useful for practitioners, the series sets sustainability concepts within well-known engineering management processes of planning, designing and delivering infrastructure. The first volume sets out a framework of fundamental principles, methodologies and approaches, with numerous practical examples from real civil engineering projects. The subsequent volumes apply these principles to sector-specific contexts, in this case water. Each book is written in such a way as to be readable independently of the set, but reference is made back to the guiding philosophy and structure set out in the introductory volume.

Fully updated, this new edition of Sustainable Infrastructure: Principles into practice is an essential practical handbook to help engineers deliver sustainable outcomes. Covering each stage of the project lifecycle, from planning and development through to implementation, in-use and end-of-life phases, the book presents a set of fundamental principles and tools to guide sustainable decision making. Sustainable Infrastructure: Principles into Practice is an essential reference for civil engineers and a broad range of built environment professionals which helps to embed sustainability concepts and concerns into everyday engineering projects, and also graduate students preparing to enter the industry.
