Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies
This book gathers papers from the 1st Global Forum for Sustainable Built Environment Research Conference – SURE-Built 1. This year’s event has theme "Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies" and was held virtually on the 4th-5th of September, 2025. The rationale behind the conference is rooted in inclusivity and aligned with a broader mission to promote sustainable development in line with global goals. This interdisciplinary focus encourages collaboration among architects, engineers, urban planners, environmental scientists, and policymakers, thus creating a comprehensive approach to tackling shared global challenges.
The 10th International Conference on Engineering, Project, and Production Management
This book gathers the proceedings of the EPPM 2019 conference, and highlights innovative work by researchers and practitioners active in various industries around the globe. Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible to seamlessly connect and integrate various elements of engineering systems, and opened the door for innovations that have transformed how we live and work. While these developments have yielded enhanced efficiency and numerous improvements in our current practices, the problems caused by the increased complexity of these integrated systems can be extremely difficult. Accordingly, solving these problems involves applying cross-disciplinary expertise to addre...
Emerging Debates in the Construction Industry
This book provides readers with an insightful understanding of the various emerging issues in the construction industry, especially in the area associated with United Nations developmental goals, 4th Industrial Revolution, Health and Safety, Sustainability, Skills and Capacity development. The need for all practitioner to understand growing issues surrounding the various evolving concepts or technologies in the construction industry remain critical to stakeholders if any meaningful gains are expected. This book explains the importance of inclusion, health and safety, skills development, collaboration, pandemics, the fourth industrial revolution, capacity building, and green finance, among others. Thus, it provides an in-depth understanding of the issues mentioned in developed and developing countries for construction professionals, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders. The book can be adopted as a research guide, framework, and reference on the emerging concepts in construction practices.
A Practical Research Process for Developing a Sustainable Built Environment in Emerging Economies
A Practical Research Process for Developing a Sustainable Built Environment in Emerging Economies aims to fill the dearth of practical research guidance and reference material with specific focus on the built environment in developing countries. Global policy agendas such as Agenda 2030 (the SDGs) highlight the importance and growth of research and knowledge from emerging nations who are increasingly contributing to research that is critical for development and advancement. The role of built environment practitioners will continue to evolve by building on the sound foundations laid down by the professions and by exploiting to the full the new technologies available to us through conducting i...
The Construction Industry in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
This book gathers papers from the 11th Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) Postgraduate Research Conference, held on 28–30 July 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The conference provided an essential forum for reviewing and generating knowledge on Construction 4.0 and, consequently, highlighted processes and practices that allow us to deliver and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on physical-to-digital and digital-to-physical transformation. The event addressed three broad themes: Industrial production (prefabrication, 3-D printing and assembly, offsite and advanced manufacturing); Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robo...
Moving the Construction Safety Climate Forward in Developing Countries
The construction industry in developing economies is responsible for creating deliverables such as infrastructure and housing while providing a means of livelihood to an ever-increasing number of management and frontline workers. However, in many parts of the world, injuries and fatalities have continued to damage the industry’s image. This book intends to meet the needs of many construction managers who, though technically informed, struggle with managing frontline workers, especially regarding motivating positive safety outcomes. It discusses the challenges experienced in the industry and how site management may navigate them to improve safety performance in the workplace. By documenting...
