How will artificial intelligence, digital technologies, sustainability, and human innovation reshape the future of infrastructure?
How Great Infrastructure Projects Are Built is a landmark three-volume professional reference series that presents an integrated understanding of infrastructure development-from the origins of civilization to modern megaprojects, project delivery, contracts, disputes, infrastructure intelligence, and the future of the built environment. Combining engineering, project management, commercial management, governance, technology, sustainability, and lessons learned from major projects worldwide, the series explains how great infrastructure projects are built, why they succeed, why they fail, and what future generations can learn.
Each volume can be read independently, while together they provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary framework for infrastructure development.
Volume III - Infrastructure Intelligence and the FutureInfrastructure is entering a new era shaped by digital transformation, artificial intelligence, Building Information Modelling (BIM), digital twins, automation, data analytics, and sustainable engineering. This volume explores how emerging technologies are transforming the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and resilience of infrastructure systems.
Drawing upon more than three decades of professional experience in infrastructure engineering, project delivery, contracts, claims, and dispute resolution, the author integrates practical industry knowledge with modern technological advancements. The book demonstrates how engineering expertise, digital intelligence, human judgment, and continuous innovation can work together to improve project performance, reduce risk, strengthen governance, and deliver more resilient infrastructure for future generations.
