Real Estate, Construction and Economic Development in Emerging
Market Economies examines the relationships between real estate and
construction sectors and explores how each sector, and the
relationships between them, affect economic development in emerging
market economies (EMEs). Throughout the book, the international
team of contributors discuss topics as diverse as real estate
finance and investment, housing, property development, construction
project management, valuation, sustainability and corporate real
estate. In doing so the book demonstrates how the relationship
between construction and real estate impacts on economic
development in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia,
China, Ghana, Nigeria, Turkey, Lithuania, Hungary and Slovenia.
Topics include: the role of real estate brokerage in improving the
living standards of citizens; the effect of a mineral boom on
construction cycles, real estate values and the socio-economic
conditions of people in boom towns and cities; corporate real
estate management practices and how they affect economic growth;
and the synergies between construction and real estate and how
they, in turn, affect economic development. This book will be of
interest to those studying and researching real estate,
construction, development studies, urban economics and emerging
market economies.
This book examines complex challenges in managing major strategic
economic and social infrastructure projects. It is divided into
four primary themes: value-based approach to infrastructure systems
appraisal, enabling planning and execution, financing and
contracting strategies for infrastructure systems and digitising
major infrastructure delivery. Within these four themes, the
chapters of the book cover: the value and benefits of
infrastructure projects planning for resilient major infrastructure
projects sustainable major infrastructure development and
management, including during mega events improving infrastructure
project financing stakeholder engagement and multi-partner
collaborations delivering major infrastructure projects effectively
and efficiently whole-life-cycle performance, operations and
maintenance relationship risks on major infrastructure projects
public-private partnerships, design thinking principles, and
innovation and technology. By drawing on insights from their
research, the editors and contributors bring a fresh perspective to
the transformation of major strategic infrastructure projects. This
text is designed to help policymakers and investors select and
prioritise their infrastructure needs beyond the constraining logic
of political cycles. It offers a practical set of recommendations
for governments on attracting private capital for infrastructure
projects while creating clear social and economic value for their
citizens. Through theoretical underpinning, empirical data and
in-depth informative global case studies, the book presents an
essential resource for students, researchers, practitioners and
policymakers interested in all aspects of strategic infrastructure
planning, project management, construction management, engineering
and business management.

In this unique and comprehensive textbook, the authors examine the
challenges faced all around the world with regard to major
infrastructure project management, and they champion a fresh
approach that takes into account the interdependencies between
economic, social, political, technological and legislative
environments. Managing, developing and investing in crucial
infrastructure is essential to keep up with the challenges of a
fast-paced and globalised world, but affecting and overseeing
change requires a deep understanding of complex interlocking
systems. To this end the book is neatly divided into three key
parts: project appraisal, maximising integrated supply chains, and
implementing value-enhancing practices. This is the ideal companion
for courses on any aspect of civil engineering and construction
project management including modules in infrastructure planning,
infrastructure management, construction management and business
management. The book will also appeal to practitioners involved in
the management of capital and infrastructure projects.
The first textbook of its kind, taking a uniquely global approach
to project management in construction. Using a wealth of case
studies from around the world to explain theory and practice, the
authors take a business-oriented, decision-making approach to
project management and the challenges it faces in the modern world.
The book covers topics highly relevant to the challenges and
opportunities currently facing the global construction industry,
including managing culturally-diverse and globally dispersed teams,
international project finance and global stakeholders in projects.
Management of Global Construction Projects is essential reading for
both students of construction management and professionals looking
to understand construction project management in a truly global
context.
