Description:
Contemporary "megaprojects" have evolved from the centralized, modernist projects undertaken in the past. With case studies ranging from mega-plantations in Southeast Asia to sports events, Contemporary Megaprojects explores the increasing ambition and pervasiveness of these projects, as well as their significant impact on both society and the environment.
