Perspectives in Metropolitan Research, Volume I : Self-Induced Shocks

Volume I comprises a collection of new research papers and classic contributions, written by internationally renowned scholars from various disciplines. It addresses the inherent ambivalence that constitutes mega-projects as both boosters of urban development and potential large-scale disasters. The chapters elucidate different forms and facets of large-scale construction ventures: as vehicles of urban development, as large-scale events, and as management challenges.
