The continued growth of any nation depends largely on the development of their built infrastructures and communities. By creating stable infrastructures, countries can more easily thrive in competitive international markets. Sustainable Infrastructure: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice examines sustainable development through the lens of transportation, waste management, land use planning, and governance. Highlighting a range of topics such as sustainable development, transportation planning, and regional and urban infrastructure planning, this publication is an ideal reference source for engineers, planners, government officials, developers, policymakers, legislators, researchers, academicians, and graduate-level students seeking current research on the latest trends in sustainable infrastructure.

Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers provides readers a framework for understanding and evaluating infrastructure projects to improve their performance and sustainability, taking into account not only the financial and economic issues, but also the social and environmental impacts that affect the sustainability of infrastructure. Based on a course designed developed by the author over ten years at M.I.T., this text demonstrates how to apply the basic methods of engineering economics in evaluating major infrastructure projects and also demonstrates how these same techniques can be useful with many routine business and personal decisions. It introduces students to project management, system performance, concepts of sustainability, methods of engineering economics, and provides numerous case studies, examples, and exercises based upon real world problems. This text fills a void in the education of many planners and engineering students, namely an understanding of why major infrastructure projects are undertaken, how they are structured and evaluated, and how they are financed. Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers prepares readers to evaluate projects based upon an appreciation of the needs of society, the potential for sustainable development, and recognition of the problems that may result from poorly conceived or poorly implemented projects and programs.

This title consists of two books, which are: Civil Engineering - Civil engineering is a multifaceted field that intersects with many aspects of our daily lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that supports modern society, including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water supply and treatment systems, wastewater treatment plants, and more. Civil engineers collaborate with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to create functional and resilient structures that meet the needs of communities while considering factors like safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. Environmental Engineering - Environmental engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to water resources engineering, air quality engineering, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and ecological engineering. In water resources engineering, environmental engineers work on designing and managing systems for the treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. They also deal with issues related to stormwater management, flood control, and erosion prevention.
