Infrastructure Planning

1999, 280 pages
$135.20


Infrastructure provision remains the definitive measure of development around the world yet engineers often only get involved in the creation of infrastructure after the important planning decisions have already been made. For this reason, planners and economists often have a disproportionate influence on the nature of infrastructure provision. If engineers are to lead planning teams effectively, they must be familiar with the necessary political and technical skills. This book serves to introduce engineers to the principles and procedures necessary for infrastructure planning in rapidly developing regions. It covers the technical methods required in planning for infrastructure provision from base-line studies and problem definition through to the specification for a set of projects. The book also discusses the political factors that effect the decision making process and demonstrates, through case studies, how the technical and political perspectives come together in the finished plan.
