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.
Handbook of Drivers of Continuous Improvement in Construction Health, Safety, and Wellbeing
This Handbook presents opportunities, best practices, and case studies backed by cutting edge research on the drivers of continuous improvement of health, safety, and wellbeing in the architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management sector. The book consists of 23 chapters with six themes covering: ● Drivers of the business case for healthier and safer construction ● Opportunities and drivers of digital technologies for improving health and safety ● Drivers of human factors for improving health and safety ● Drivers of safer design and procurement ● Drivers of better health and wellbeing for construction. ● Opportunities for driving equality and inclusivity for saf...
Handbook of Construction Safety, Health and Well-being in the Industry 4.0 Era
This Handbook seeks to examine and advance current understanding of the confluence of construction health, safety and well-being and the broad range of Industry 4.0 technologies in use in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Globally, the construction sector accounts for more than 100,000 occupational fatalities annually. In many countries, reports of work-related accidents, injuries and illnesses are commonplace, and there is an urgent need to improve the occupational safety and health (OSH) outlook of the construction sector. The fourth industrial revolution presents opportunities to leverage modern technologies (e.g., big data, artificial intelligence, automation...
Unpacking the Decent Work Agenda in Construction Operations for Developing Countries
Low construction labour productivity and the inadequate welfare of construction workers are consistent challenges in developing countries. These challenges are partially due to shortcomings situated in the Decent Work Agenda. This book proposes ways of sustaining construction labour productivity through fulfilling the Decent Work Agenda. This is a unique area of focus that is essential to fulfilling the broader and global aspects of decent work, sustainability and construction labour productivity. Also, the focus of this book is on contributing to the plight of construction workers whose treatment is significantly unsound. The construction industry needs to develop a humanistic face and cont...
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials
This book compiles papers presented during the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials (SCESCM) held virtually in December 2020. This is the fifth edition of this conference series; the theme for the 5th SCESCM is “Transforming the World, Foster the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” and it focuses on various issues, novel findings, as well as developments in the area of civil and infrastructure, conforming to the SDGs. This book caters to postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners involved in advocating and embedding sustainability in various phases of design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructure facilities.
The Integration of Production and Environmental Approaches in Managing Construction Site Water Pollution
Water pollution from the construction site is likely to negatively affect the environment as well as the economic and social well-being of people. Sediment production, the major trigger of site water pollution has commonly been managed using mitigation approaches, in isolation from the production planning. However, the segregation between the undiscovered, yet interrelated factors that affect the practice of site water pollution management and production planning causes waste in time, cost and resources. This study proposes an integrated solution that addresses both the production and environmental factors involved in reducing the risk of site water pollution. The study has been conducted us...
